The atmosphere at Webb is extremely welcoming. This begins with the admissions department and carries through to the students, advisors, and teachers. On "move-in day" when it is normal to be apprehensive about what boarding school will be like, the students and families are greeted by older students who help them move into their dorm room and then stay with the student and family for the entire day. This is our student's third year and amazingly, the admissions department does not abandon families after enrollment. Every time we are on campus, whenever we see someone from admissions, they ask about our student and our family. We had a choice of several schools and are so very glad we chose Webb!

I really liked the sympathetic teachers who would work with you during times of need. However, the administration is horrendous. It feels like you are not a student, but more of a statistic. More than anything, I feel like I am there only to help their percentage of students who graduate and go on to college. I had a family emergency and I was not helped by the school during that time. Instead, my teachers would not work with me and could not care less. This school could stand some improvements, rather than using the excuse of "following traditions". The girls' bathrooms really need and deserve some updates. In general, plenty of things are not in balance. In the 2017-2018 school year, they had about four different Chemistry teachers hired, then subsequently fired. Where are the checks and balances??
The Webb School is a great environment for those looking for an academically challenging experience. With small class sizes and approachable teachers you soon develop relationships with your peers and teachers. Overall, it is a very positive environment that pushes students to be their best, character-wise and academically.
