"As a middle-class Marlborough parent, I cannot disagree more with some of the reviews here. I have two daughters in the school and their experience has been amazing. The school champions the girls and when help is needed in any venue are there to teach a path to success. It is an arduous academic environment but we have never come across a teacher who hasn't been willing to put in the extra time to help a girl succeed. Any girl who attends Marlborough is a lucky one - they will receive an amazing education as well as finding life-long friends and wonderful memories."

"How interesting indeed. Encouraging the children who attend this school to write glowing reviews is one thing, but the fact is, families are selected to attend this school, not children. If you, as a parent, fit the profile that the feminist head of school is focused on, and if you are desperate enough to jump through the hoops, your child may be "selected". As a parent, your reward will be an 11-1 teaching ratio, and a custom curriculum for your child. The downside is...indoctrination to a social and political milieu of highly critical peers (for both you and your child) that you may not be fully able to compete with . Truly a great place for a parent to continue to manipulate their child, and for the parent, in turn, to be manipulated. There is a quote by Groucho about clubs that you might want to look up."

"I attend Marlborough, and I find it to be the most amazing school I have ever attended! All of the programs are challenging without being too hard, the teachers are amazing, and I enjoy every day there. My only complaint would be that all the doors open outwards, so you almost always get hit by the door you are walking by. I do not agree with any bad reviews, e.g. the girls aren't snotty, they're just above your level. All teachers are willing to help, and there is always review in classes so that you are somewhat prepared in class, and if you don't study that's your problem. Marlborough is a slightly selective school, meaning they choose students by who they think will succeed. I was honored to get in. Overall, it is an amazing school, which you should try to attend."

"I am a recent graduate of Marlborough, and let me just say that I couldn't have wished for a more incredible place to spend six years of my life. A huge misconception about Marlborough is that it is snobby, over-competitive, and filled with girls who will buy their way into the most prestigious schools in the country. I can tell you from experience that these are all false. I have never met a more supportive, intelligent, down-to-earth group of people than I have encountered at Marlborough. Every girl more than earns their slot in their future university by working as hard as they can for six years. The school community is something that can only be understood from the inside because the bonds that are created at Marlborough are indescribable. The teachers become your friends, your classmates become your sisters, and the school becomes your home. Marlborough has given me more than an amazing education, it has given me the confidence to succeed in college and in life."
