| Having grown up here, I would argue there really is only the "Big 2." The Big 2 imo are Sidwell and the Cathedral Schools. |

But that is 3.

I agree - but as a grad of NCS I do think of NCS and STA as pretty separate. So in my mind the big 3 are always Sidwell, NCS, STA. |

Why? Granted, they are separate, but only together do they make a whole (as the society is neither all male nor female) unless you believe one pulls along the other. |

| How does NCS actually differentiate itself from Holton in 2014 such as to be deemed "bigger"? Sincere question and don't have child in either school. |

| To answer op, big 3 are Sidwell, STA, and NCS in my opinion and since Beauvoir is part of the Cathedral system it is considered a Big 3 for younger years. |

Agree and I grew up in DC. |

Anyone who says anything other than "Sidwell, STA and NCS" has a child in another school and wants them to be big three.
Newsflash: big three has always referred to those schools. It does not refer to Holton, GDS, and Maret, all of which are excellent schools. |
