School Reviews

5  
The unhelpful and assuming attitude at O`quinn not impressed us when we applied to their program. We have an academically advanced child and wanted to speak directly with the head of the school or director of admissions to see if O`quinn would be a good fit for our child. When we emailed and called to request additional information, they did not get back to us in a timely fashion. We then came to the school one day to see if we could talk with the director of admissions. We could see that she was sitting at her desk, but instead of speaking with us, she sent the secretary out to tell us that admission decisions would be made in two weeks. I had to tell them that we were not looking for an admission decision;We were looking to decide between O`quinn and Ashley Hall and wanted more information. The assumption and lack of helpfulness appalled us, and so we immediately withdrew our application as O`quinn was not the school that we would choose for our child. We have been happy and impressed by Ashley Hall and would highly recommend them.
