The kicker is that Weber was literally begging her to stay, even so much as to offer her tuition and she still left (she had other reasons for leaving). There is advantages academically (as Rerun said) such as smaller classes, study periods and SOMETIMES better teachers but not necessarily. But if someone is a good student they will do well in high school and beyond regardless.
In the same vein though, the academic advantages could potentially be offset by the social side of things. These school are growing but are still small. So as a student you end up with the same 20 people all the way through. Which some of you small town people would probably claim it was the same but its not. Its not just the same 20 kids, its the same 20 kids that are the most spoiled, snobbyest rich kids in city. And I'm from Springbank...
