MD/DC school for rising 8th grader with average grades

He sounds perfect for Christ Episcopal School. But I believe their 7th grade class is quite full. Or I would try St. Andrews - they are good with quirky kids who may not be reaching their potential.

Maret is harder to get in to vs STA, Sidwell or GDS. It accepts few students because of its size but has the same or more number of applicants as those schools in 9th grade. Though Maret does a better job of teaching the student vs imposing a one way of instruction to weeds out kids.

OP have you had your child tested and evaluated? This can really help specifically because the workload increase in high school.

Maret is harder to get in to vs STA, Sidwell or GDS. Ha that is a joke. It is a smaller class but acadeically they will accept a much borader range of kids including diverse learners. Most kids who accept Maret do so because they couldn't get into GDS or play a sport.

That’s isn’t true some really prefer Maret on its own merits. It is small but not harder then any other limited seat/ large applicant pool school to get into if you are the right fit.
