I really feel for HC-they don't deserve this sort of post.

Sidwell: short kids
Maret: kids with skin conditions NCS: girls who prefer blue pens STA: boys who prefer black pens Potomac: kids who will naturally run counter-clockwise around a field GDS: kids who wear jeans, except when they don't. I hope this is helpful. There are, of course, exceptions. |

I thought the same thing. I mean, think of all the time she spent stereotyping KIDS. Sick. As though they're all the same. Love how she used the word, "classy." Such a lowbrow, unsophisticated word. Sums up her entire post. |

initially thought the same but wouldn't be surprised if it was by a NCS alumna. Given Landon's recent lacrosse controversy I don't imagine Holton girls being overly anxious to advertise their connection with the lacrosse team |

| No, I thought it was written by someone with boys -- it started off with STA etc. |

I view it more like this:
GDS/Maret attract far more Dem and liberal families Jock schools attract far more Republican and conservative |

| NP here who is also an alum of one of these schools longer ago than I care to admit. I think much of the OP's sterotyping was true when I graduated but is not anymore. It's clear to me that Maret and GDS are FAR stronger schools than when I graduated, and legitimately competitive. I'm guessing by the Potomac description that OP, like me, never interacted with it in high school. But then I went to UVA and met a ton a wonderful, really bright Potomac alums - it is rigorous and warm, and will definitely be on the list of schools I consider when my kids are old enough. |

| No PP -- people in the private elite h.s. here don't have extra time. It was written by a bitter mom whose kid didn't get in anywhere and is going to some atrocious public h.s. in VA |

| Eww.Please don't put Prep in the same class as STA or Landon. |

| Okay, OP. What about Visi and Gonzaga. Certainly they are both worth a mention. |
