TOP NOTCH! Archer has been an incredible experience for my daughter. She has voiced numerous times that she loves her school because she can be herself and all of her school mates are very supportive. We could not be happier and I feel that Archer encourages the girls to be the best versions of themselves. The joy felt among the students and the administration is infectious and there is a strong sense of community among the Archer families. Archer offers strong academic & athletic programs as well as on going support to help our girls become more confident, resilient and empowered. A++

1. emphasize critical thinking
2. improve writing skills
3. Art teachers: very passionate and creative people!
4. Honors STEM classes except biology
5. Accommodations
6. College guidance
7. Staff (nicest people I’ve ever met)
8. Spirit Events

1. Rules feel unnecessarily strict, making it difficult to trust adults. Students lose privileges for tardiness to class meetings/minor violations of the uniform policy. Result of Archer's priority to keep up appearances for trustees, prospective parents, and resentful Brentwood residents.
2. overall, social scene is not my ideal situation — would help if the student body was more diverse and interested in art. younger grades have dealt with fairly extreme cases of bullying (including using the n-word and slut shaming)
3. a lot of teachers leave within 1-2 years.
4. sustainability
5. dances/prom

My daughter started at Archer in 6th grade and is graduating this spring, heading off to her first-choice college. I am so appreciative of her years in this warm, nurturing, holistic environment.
Archer is a young, nimble, adaptable school with an innovative head of school.
Expectations are high and teachers do their best to help the girls reach them. While classes are rigorous, my daughter never seemed overwhelmed. I'd say there was healthy stress.
There's every type of girl at Archer and they come from all over Los Angeles--not just the tony neighborhoods around the school. Diversity is important to the culture and the students benefit from the differing perspectives.
The recent modern addition marries beautifully with the historic building. Still no gym or pool on campus but they work around that.
Soon my daughter will be off to college. And I am confident she's well-prepared for whatever comes next.
