Overall Whitman was a good school, but it lacked school spirit, diversity, and was a very cliquey school.

An excellent school with rigorous curriculum to prepare the students for the next step. As a parent of a Senior student getting ready to enter college this Fall, I am not so worried with the academics aspect.
