| Imagine being an adult so caught up in high school rankings… really sends the wrong message. |

Then why so insecure? |

Why the endless personal attacks questioning the motives of others? It comes across as playground taunting, not adult discussion, in terms of the tone and content. That's an English teacher's view, not a personal attack. |

| There is no adult discussion about ranking high schools. Someone actually posted “Prove it!” It’s just stupid. |

Oh come on, Basis is cheaper. That’s a steal. |

So does that mean that you just give in and join this juvenile slugfest? |

It’s opposed to pretending this is anything more than a pointless pissing contest? Better to call it what it is. |

We agree. Only applied there. If we supported single sex NCS/STA might have gotten an app |

It is amazing how many idiots post on this board. For my kid, Sidwell wouldn't have been worth it because it wouldn't have been the right fit. Her school is but wouldn't be worth it for many others. There is no best school - only a best school for your kid. |

PP. you’re right. I stand corrected.
On balance with a gifted child, all else being equal, and single sex not being a choice, Sidwell is IT. 100% |

We live in the suburbs and my kid goes to a similar priced private out here in the suburbs. Wouldn’t be worth it to us to commute into the city. |

If Niche added "length of wait list" to their criteria, BIM would never show up anywhere, LOL. They don't have one.
That's a "rating" from the actual marketplace where real parents spend real money. Not cherry picking hocus-pocus. |

Many lifers from the Big 3 wouldn’t be able to handle the BIM curriculum and transfer in at grade level. Self-selection is a thing. |
