My daughter is a freshman at Madeira and I have no idea what you’re talking about. This is the last thing that would cross my mind when describing the school (which has been fantastic for her).

Of course you have no idea what I’m talking about
Just stick to riding horses.

Jealousy is unbecoming, PP.

Jealous of Madeira students?!? Lol! I can think of at least a half dozen DC independent schools that I would strongly prefer that my daughter attend over Madeira. Madeira is so far down the list that it isn’t even a consideration.

As a Madeira parent, I am so grateful for the choices you made. May the force be with you

I am too! My daughter was adamant about NOT applying to Madeira. Nothing about the school appealed to her (or me).

There is some one/s who has strong feelings about Madeira and says all kinds of pernicious things about it. I don't take it personally because all the schools around here have haters.

Good. Let us do good in our respective (and parallel) worlds. Good luck to your daughter.

I'm curious - why do you talk as if your family not finding the school a fit is somehow a condemnation of the whole place as a bad? One of the benefits of a thriving private school community is that different families will find fits in different places. The fact that one school isn't a fit for my family doesn't mean there's anything wrong with it, just that it's not "us."

And yet you announce this on a message board as if others should heed your warning and avoid it, very much implying there's something wrong with it.

OP, your repeated posting about a school you have no personal experience with is NOT normal. The vehemence with which you post is strange. Therefore, I think it is very safe to assume your child either got rejected from Madeira or more likely - (hence the horse riding joke) - you are jealous of the some of the wealthy families that send their girls there. I also think your child is in public, because most private school parents recognize that not all schools are the right fit for all students.

Several years ago Madeira played my DC's school (a popular DC charter) in soccer. When Madeira lost, their players shook our kids' hands and sneered, "Not bad, for a POOR school."

Nice try. You can find many more skeletons in the Madeira cupboard. So if that is your life stated goal, this attempt was rather feeble.

Just focus your energies elsewhere. May be the spa where your kids heard the owner sneer at a poorly dressed client? Or the nail salon owner where your aunt heard that the homeless were not welcome? Your name is Karen, I presume?

Just ignore the troll.

Madeira isn’t on my radar, so I rarely post about it. I responded to the “jealousy” comment. I live in DC and my oldest daughter attends one of the “Big 3.” As I mentioned earlier, Madeira was never a consideration. She got into the school she currently attends, so the idea of a rejection from Madeira is laughable.

“It isn’t on my radar, but I’m back again to post!” Got it…

I’m only impressed with Big 3 if you got in at 9th grade. Those kids are impressive. Too bad more aren’t counseled out.
