The Big 3

For a summary of the 1000's of previous posts on this topic:

"Big 3" usually refers to

(1) Sidwell Friends,
(2) the Cathedral Schools (Beauviour, St Albans, and NCS)
(3) and then either GDS, Potomac, and/or Maret

For obvious reasons GDS boosters will try to "assume" the 3rd spot goes to GDS, those that believe life does in fact exist south of DC will include Potomac, and the less vocal but older money crowd will advocate Maret

Many on this board have just resorted to the "Big 5" rather than battle it out for spot #3

Of course, this Big definition ignores many great schools that may in fact be a better fit for you particular child, and especially overlooks some stellar K-8 programs like Norwood, Langley, etc.

We'd have it a lot easier on this board if people just said "Top Tier Schools"... but that would not be as much fun. Folks love a good fight.

Don't you know a joke when you see one?
