Bullis concerns

People choose to go to Bullis for the opportunity to play in college and get into schools that they might not if it weren't for athletics.

End of story. Different types of young people making choices that best suit them. I would be excited for either, and wish them luck for the paths they pursue.

But Bullis still can’t win the Founder’s Cup—presented to the IAC’s top athletic program. Prep has won it 14 out of the last 16 years, including this past year—all while maintaining an average SAT score of 1386 and an 8:1 student-to-faculty ratio.

Trophy's not as impressive as it sounds but congrats. I wouldn't hang my hat on it. Some obscure sports that not all schools have weighted in. Awesome you hang your hat on it though.

Good for them. However, nobody is comparing Bullis to Prep or any other school. It’s an option that may work for some, and not for others.

How is Prep and Bullis comparable? I wouldn't even consider Prep because of the religious piece as well as their long history of issues within in the school and outside school hours.

Yes—Prep’s long history of producing SCOTUS Justices, Federal Reserve Chairs, NFL team owners, MLB GMs, Pulitzer Prize, Medal of Honor and Emmy Award recipients, US Poet Laureates, inventor of chemotherapy, US congressmen, US senators, ambassadors and CEOs. You’re absolutely right—no comparison. Who has Bullis produced? Duane Haskins? Give me a break.

No one who is considering Prep even considers Bullis.

Seriously. If you’re not a serious sports family it’s really hard to see the point of most private high schools.

Value of nothing, price of everything, huh?

I interpret this to mean you call me a cynic, quoting Oscar Wilde. As if I see only the price of a school like Bullis and not its true value. Can you explain its true value to a family of a bright student, with a relatively good public option, and absolutely no interest in sports?

Teachers at Bullis are not spread too thin. They're passionate about reaching and stretching every child. Their excellence, paired with the labs, the specialist teachers, the studios, the unbelievable theater, arts, and stem--those make the difference between Bullis and another school for a non-athletic kid.

Here's another transfer to Bullis, by way of Buffalo.

Coming for Junior and Senior year and "reclassifying" for Football.

I'm sure Mom and Dad got transferred to the area LOL.

Does Bullis take in boarders? If so, maybe he is staying on campus.

And are you suggesting that Gonzaga, Prep, Landon, or Saint Albans would not have taken this kid had he applied to them?

[Anonymous]

Or that tons of students don't reclassify at GP & Landon. Or that Episcopal's football team isn't from around the globe. Some people wake up and just feel the need to spazz out on Bullis.

[Anonymous]

Oh that's a bad thing that Bullis attracts talent. Just terrible.
