I have found that Darrow came at the right time for my child. He struggled in a large school so the smaller environment is exactly what he needed. He has flourished in the class and has enjoyed the recent boost in the sports program. Darrow gets 5 stars in my book!

Darrow was a second chance for me, as well as a lot of kids. Overall, I loved Darrow and the friends and education I made are priceless. The administration has some issues, as well as the food (especially it being a boarding school).

Our experience with having a child at Darrow has been nothing short of awesome. Like many in the area I expect (we are a day family and live close), I didn’t even know the school existed before our first visit. I started to understand how beautiful and awesome the school was on our tour, but it wasn...
