Excellent school, wonderful administration, great programming, warm, friendly, high academic and hashkafic standard. They always get more applicants than they can accept.

The families I know who send there are more the yeshivish type if that makes a difference for you.

What do they offer that nesivos doesn't? What's their pull or strong point?

I dont know much about Nesivos, sorry, except that it's an excellent elementary school and they speak or translate in Yiddish- I do know that some graduates of Nesivos go to Mesilas fro High School.

Def has plenty heimish chassidush there as well, plenty streimels
Very nice normal bais yakov type school
You can try to apply but very hard to get in
Most girls love it there
Some parents in mesilas are nesivos type
I see Nesivos as being a simpler crowd. Maybe emunas yisroel or simple stolin type but correct me if I’m wrong
I think nesivos high school is called emunas bais yakov

It’s about half heimish/chassidish and half Yeshivish. Strong emphasis on teaching Halacha.
Main advantage is that the girls love their school. Main disadvantage is that they seem to have more days off than other schools.

How is are the girls midos?
How important is looks and money?
Are the teachers available for the girls? Do they make a connection?
How is the academic level?

Two people I know who go there are from problematic homes (I.e. divorced, or parents were chassidish became very modern, etc.) but loved the administration. I've heard brands and cliques are the norm there, but just from two sources...

Midos are good, overall (e.g. There is a definite chassidish/heimish vs. yeshivish split in my daughter’s class, but the girls get along well and are generally respectful of each others’ differences.)
As is the case everywhere - looks and money are are almost always an advantage, but personality overrides both.
Administration and staff make strong efforts to know each girl, and most teachers are available if the girls want a connection.
Academic level appears to be about average for a Bais Yaakov school.
