Their gymnastics team kick our (Immaculate Heart's) collective ass.

I guess since I'm from a rival high school I should only be giving them one star, but in good conscious, I just can't.

Plus one of those athletic girls could probably still kick my ass.

I'm not a girl, nor am I the parent of one, but I went to college with some nice young ladies from Marlborough.  While I find the New England preparatory experience to be far superior than that of a Los Angeles day school, Marlborough is one of the best.  Architecture is a bit odd, but this is a nice place to send smart girls to and keep them away from horny teenage boys.

Marlborough provides a fantastic education (best in the west, top elsewhere) but lacks in other departments. There is little relaxation or fun to be had, which provides for many breakdowns and mental problems, and often the teachers are not up to par for the reputed quality of the school. Nonetheless, the small class sizes, handful of memorable teachers and classes, and great friends make this an overall positive experience. Expect TONS of work and little to no social life while here, but expect to leave with tons of knowledge on things you were interested in, things you didn't know you were interested in, things you didn't know about and things you could care less to know about!

Not quite 5 stars, but truly a fine education. The classes are small and intimate, which can often lead to wonderful, scandalous gossip, hardcore school pride, truly awesome teachers, really great sex-ed (nothing like y and sometimes, a girl in your class can even start writing herself death threats for attention and then everyone's forced to undergo group therapy session to talk about our feelings.

Prom did suck, and many of the girls are rich bitches, and let's not get started with the school workload and pressure to get into an Ivy League, but overall, you make lifelong friends. And boys smell!

Mustangs forever!

A fine education, although the no boys thing does make college a bit overwhelming.
