Carleton W Washburne School

We regret sending our kids to Marie Murphy. Although our kids had a few outstanding teachers and classes, in most classes they were bored and learned very little. Marie Murphy does not differentiate teaching or curriculum for students who learn faster or slower. I've heard from a number of parents that the special education services are bad. It's a poorly managed school and school district. Our kids and their friends hated it.

North Shore Country Day has given me the best high school experience imaginable. With the small classroom sizes and close knit feel, I have been able to grow exponentially as both a student and person. With a heavy focus on public speaking in the classroom, I have grown increasingly comfortable to share my own thoughts out loud and have been challenged academically. Along with this, I have really thrived socially. The school fosters a super accepting culture and really the biggest problem is people can be too soft...I have loved my past four years and would not change my decision to come here. Trust, you will find your people you just have to be willing to speak to everyone.
