Starting a controversial topic.
This thought started with the casting of Denise Gough as someone who may be "mean to children" and @starlit suggested in the casting thread the idea of her being a teacher. And I feel like I'm already getting bullying vibes, though that hasn't been confirmed.
As we've bumped the timeline up to the 1950s, a bit past the book Silver Chair time (correct?), is it possible Ms. Gerwig has pulled the concept of the Experiment House to this movie? Because there certainly wouldn't be an Experiment House post 1970s (Silver Chair movie) right?

Is there something specific about Experiment House that might make you think that?
There's always bad schools and there's always mean teachers.
