"Mixed experience, but some positives"

We've had a bit of a mixed experience at Brearley Hall so far. Some of the teachers have been excellent, while others seem less engaged. However, we do appreciate the emphasis on creativity and the welcoming atmosphere. We're hoping to see some improvements in the coming months.
