College Hill

I had a great middle school experience but the upper school was awful. Everything switched. Suddenly, my best friends were making me feel like a stranger in my own school. There were days where no one said hello to me the entire day. Girls were catty and exclusive. One of my teachers, that knew what I was going through, tried to make a joke about being excluded and minimized a lot of things that were very painful to me. Moses Brown doesn’t know how to manage conflict with girls. I did my best to wait it out and see if the situation would get better as my advisor told me to do, but it only got worse in the long-run despite teacher and parent meetings. Moses Brown did not care that I was being completely and purposely excluded. Some teachers were good at planning lessons and teaching, but the bad completely outweighed the good. I’ve never in my life experienced such feelings of isolation. I’m so much happier at my new school. Rethink your decision before going to MB.

We came to wheeler from a very good private school in Rhode Island with high expectations. Mid-year, my son’s teacher got fired and replaced with a substitue. His teacher had been at wheeler for a long time, and this is not the kind of thing we expected from such a school. There seems to be a lot of strange things happening, a lot of firings for some reason, and the administration can’t give answers to parents. We didn’t intend to get into this sort of drama, we just were thinking we made a good transfer, but are not sure at this time.
