Pros: picturesque campus
Cons: no sports, below-average curriculum, teachers not trained in newer or cutting-edge methods, year-round memos sent ad-nauseum for donations to the school, students segregated into class sections by very wealthy/slightly wealthy/un-wealthy with very wealthy getting the better teachers for obvious reasons. Small class size does nothing to make up for inadequate classroom instruction. College placements speak for themselves - mostly local area (non-Ivy League) colleges and junior colleges, or obscure liberal arts schools. Science and Math is largely absent.

Pros: nice campus, small classes, pretty good curriculum
Cons: very high tuition, drug problem in upper school, lack of athletic achievements and opportunities, unimpressive college placements. Not very good faculty in lower school (teachers hired from the British Isles for their posh accent rather than their educational credentials)
For the same price, put your kid in nearby Pingry.

Cons: very little to complain about. Would be nice if language classes in middle school were offered every day, no school band
