Purnell School

Boarding school is not for everyone  - but it has it's advantages.  My daughter has been able to take leadership roles that she may not have pursued in a coed school.  She has been able to focus on her work, and recently scored a 1700 on her SAT.  The Purnell program is challenging, if the student chooses to take advantage of it.  Unlike some other private schools, there are students of differing academic abilities at Purnell  But at Purnell, unlike some other private schools, everyone can get the help they need.
The fact that the school does not tolerate drugs or any other imappropriate behavior is a plus.  I would be more concerned if the school did not suspend girls who behaved badly.
