My daughter had a very negative experience at this school. However, I do think it is an academically rigorous, achievement-focused school and there is a lot of opportunity to excel, given the right teachers and circumstances. However, things don't always align perfectly for all students and the school's response to those they do not perceive as empowered is passive at best. There is a clear bias in favor of male students that you may not notice unless your daughter is attacked, but should be worrying to all parents. The school promotes an environment that is a tragedy waiting to happen.
Both our sons attended George Mason - one went on to skip a grade when we moved to Japan, our other son was accepted as one of 50 American Juniors awarded a two-year resident scholorship at one of only ten IB high schools worldwide (United World College in New Mexico) for his Junior and Senior years. This is a fantastic school.
The focus is inspiring and developing students. Mission accomplished.
Our daughter graduated last year and is enjoying her first year at Boston University. The International Baccalaureate curriculum prepared her well for the rigor of college. The school's focus on "thinking critically and challenging assumptions" has prepared her well for life after school.
