I managed to go to both a high school and college that didn't field a football team.
As we start to consider high school options, I realized that was one additional factor to consider. Looking at co-ed, sectarian or religiously liberal schools in DC or Maryland. Thanks! |

Thanks but I'm looking for co-ed and have a boy. He could turn out to be trans but I think I'd know by now. |

| I'm not sure why not having a specific sport is something to look for. |

Because I have concerns about football culture in America and its overall safety and what it does to kids. Because I enjoyed going to schools that had neither and I think it made for a positive experience that I think my DC would thrive in. |

I agree about football but I think you'll find that at the schools that do have football teams they don;t loom so large because at this age parents are beginning to pull back. I'd be more concerned about lacrosse. I mentioned Field. Sounds like culturally it could be a good fit. We love it. |
