| My DD turned down Sidwell and Hogwarts and is thriving at her current school. |
| We toured Hogwarts and all the magic classes other than divination were very impressive. But DD is more focused on STEM so we chose Basis McLean. |
| In addition to Hogwarts, Coach Taylor tried to recruit my son to be QB1, but we chose Basis McLean instead because of the STEM and SAT scores of the students. |

You have to remember the above schools are all application. Hogwarts is by invitation. So if you don’t get one, you are left having to apply to the less exclusive schools. |
| Hogwarts is overrated. Journalism program at West Beverly is really good though. |
I heard they’re getting rid of the invitation only process to become more inclusive. Potomac and Bethesda families were paying thousands under the table for an invite, so it makes sense, but I worry kids who just aren’t qualified will end up being invited and won’t be able to handle it. They’ll end up wandering into the chamber of secrets and resulting in more bad PR for that place. |
