8/19/2025
terrible in every aspect. i had the worst time here and would not wish going to shady side on my worst enemy. preppy culture, kids do cocaine in bathrooms, sports are abysmal, college counseling is awful. i had to go through the entire process myself because of how bad they are at their jobs. food is pretty bad as well.

The school has many clubs, anyone can host a club, there are many opportunities. However, school's support for clubs and other student activities seemed less avid and proactive. The school has a strong group of students and a positive culture where you can interact and cooperate with others.
7/8/2025
Just had a wonderful experience this year for our two boys. We will be returning this August and are very impressed with the impressive teachers and their kindness. Every time I dropped my kids off I felt they were in a safe and secure environment to ensure the best learning. Country day's perfect location nestled in the woods is awesome for outdoor learning. Such an awesome year that flew by quickly.
