As a parent, I can not say enough wonderful things about Marlborough. It is truly a top-notch school and affords students not only a superb education but a deep sense of community. The academics are rigorous but the support the students receive to be successful is second to none. The teachers, administrators, faculty, staff, and coaches are beyond excellent. The community is diverse, welcoming, kind, curious, and intelligent. I would highly recommend Marlborough without reservation!

As someone who entered in high-school instead of middle-school, I worried whether or not I'd be accepted as a new student because many of the girls had known each other for years before I' had arrived. However, everyone was kind, welcoming, and all around wonderful people. The academics and extracurriculars offered are excellent as well; whether you are someone who wants to be fiercely dedicated or someone who'd rather do something for fun, there absolutely will be a club or group for you. My only complaint about the school is that we rarely get to interact with any other nearby schools, and thus it's quite difficult to make new friends outside of the ones in your classes. All in all, if I were given the chance to re-do my high-school applications, I would pick Marlborough every time.

Marlborough is an excellent school that has great teachers and connections. However, the atmosphere was constricting, cold, hyper-competitive, and offered little support. While I think it is important to be competitive, the way in which these students bring down their fellow peers does not promote healthy competition. Few wish the person next to them success out of fear that they might surpass their academic or athletic excellence and in turn, they relish others' failures. Additionally, the majority of the people I was surrounded by were incredibly privileged and sheltered making this community feel confining. While my peers were certainly intelligent, many had never pushed themselves to be uncomfortable in any other setting besides school, so many of them were immature, materialistic, closed-minded, and lacked perspective This culture progressively ate at me until finally, I reached a point in which I simply could not justify being so miserable and transferred after freshman year.
