The Webb School Reviews
Our history, math, and art classes are well-organized and inspiring, but the science department is really falling apart. The school offers a lot of AP classes, and students generally get good scores, especially in history, math and English.
TEACHERS
It depends, some teachers are caring and knowledgable, while others are not actually serious about their jobs. The best teachers always leave after they teach for a short period.
CLUBS & ACTIVITIES & SPORTS
The school doesn't provide enough time for clubs, so a lot of them are not functioning well. Afternoon activities are generally nice. Sport is surprisingly good for such a small private school.
ADMINISTRATION
HORRIBLE! A lot of excessive rules that some teachers don't even follow.
DORM LIFE
Some of the dorm parents are extremely nice, but others lack a sense of rationality. Teachers have a higher standard for students than for themselves. Without any trust, and the whole dorm lives under an atmosphere of suspicion.
