You have to really evaluate the vibe of the class. The current 10th grade girl environment is bad with clicks of major bullies and entitled girls who think being mean is cool

Their arts program is absolutely incredible.

Completely agree and spot on. To add to being mean/toxic , these girls think it’s cool to be anorexic.

It’s cliques. Not clicks. Jeez.

It's very hard to get into because of the amount of applicants. The campus, infrastructure, learning tools, sports equipment, music department, etc are top notch. For that reason lots of kids apply as first choice.

The "haters" are those who cold never afford Bullis, were rejected, or didn't get the financial aid they'd hoped for.

Rest assured, the 'haters" are not "Top three" moms; they are not on these boards trashing Bullis. If their child is at Top Three (insert here) they aren't thinking, "oh I think I'll go trash Bullis online."

This last poster is nuts!!! Very hard to get into? You cannot be talking about Bullis in Potomac, Md. Bullis is a below average school with a gorgeous campus. Lot's of bullies and not a very welcoming place if you are not part of Country Club crews. I would not send my child there. Trust me, we did and had to pull our DD out for various reasons. Just FYI, nobody is jealous of Bullis and NOBODY is getting rejected unless they are a non athlete who cannot afford it. The school knows who can afford and who cannot before they make offers. STAY AWAY. Try St. Andrews or any other school in the area.

Wow. It seems like you’re really angry.

You must’ve had a really terrible experience there with your daughter. Have you contacted the administration know that you were going to tell them how you really feel? They may be able to implement changes.

Why would one go through channels such as speaking to folks in a position to affect change when you can rant anonymously on a message board to an empowered audience of none?

the fact that they bring in people from all over to play their sports for free while people gladly pay full price for a sub par education, BUT brag about how great their sports are. LOL

Sorry, but the campus is beautiful but the Bullis boys are 10x worse than Landon boys and that is saying a lot. The girls are all pretty dumb for private school kids.

I just have never understood it.

You are clearly talking about before covid, and the new/current Head of School. The new HOS is focusing on academics, and there are many non Country Club types there, including our child, and their friends.

Given they were one of the few schools open during covid, many new families started, and realize how wonderful Bullis really is. Their value has increased significantly. Every year for the past several, hundreds have been rejected

Bullis does not give athletic scholarships. So much misinformation on this board.

I suggest staying away from St. Andrew's as well.

I don’t think any of the independents do. The may gave financial aid, but not athletic scholarships. This isn’t college.
