If I had it to do over again I’d avoid.

Only 12 students (out of ~100) applied to ND last year. Five got in. If you have decent stats and apply early to either of these schools, you will almost definitely get in.

I agree Tres Bien is ridiculous.

Remember, this is a Catholic girls school. Of course there is going to be virtue signaling. She follows the teachings of the Pope. So yes, school has some progressive leanings.

The HOS has detractors clearly, but she is very well respected and well liked by the overwhelming majority of students and parents. She is very professional and personable (and went to SR herself, so really bonds with the girls).

It is well known what kind of school SR is. This letter is reflects the balance it tries to strike. Just choose another school.

I am sure the pope is for the prevention of murders. Isn't he "pro-life"? I don't see any reason why a head of school for a Catholic HS would need to chime in on the politics of DC in a welcome letter to parents and students. Very very inappropriate.

No what is inappropriate is you.

Put your kid in an Opus Dei school given you are a cult member of stupidity.

The letter is fine you are in a cult of Anti-American garbage.

Why don't you focus on why the church is still paying for lawsuits to protect pedos instead of protecting the victims? Where is your morality for that???

SR produces intelligent humans you need to get an education.

Yes agree SR is a great school. My oldest got into a great college. We just don't appreciate the constant virtue signaling. Many parents agree with me.

What the heck does everyone mean by virtue signaling? The HOS and the school aligns with the Catholic faith. They support pro life activities. Gee. All the letter did was express sympathy for what is going on. Whether you agree with it or not it is making people upset. Expressing sympathy is ok. Are you Catholic?

This is my reaction as well.

As soon as I hear someone overusing the words "virtue signalling", I suspect that are unkind, selfish types who can't comprehend that many people aren't "signalling", they just care. It makes you and the other annoyed parents feel bad, doesn't it? A little guilty. Because you aren't really very Christian, are you? Nice people get under your skin, because they expose you.

Not exactly. It is very annoying because a lot of people don't feel the same way that is being communicated. The troops in DC are needed in my and many others' opinions. I live in DC, and while I have never been a victim of crime nor have any of my neighbors, there are sections of the city that I would never consider going into. I just think about how those families must feel day to day and I do not feel safe even in some of the best areas because crimes are being committed everywhere. Why on earth a HOS is bringing this up in a letter to parents and students just doesn't make sense. There are so many other issues that could be addressed. Honestly, she should just stick to the immediate school topics and leave it at that.

She didn’t say we oppose the troops in DC she said that some student might be feeling anxious about the situation, which seems factual to me. She can acknowledge that some people may have feelings about this situation that are different than yours, not everything is just for you.

This is fine as long as she uses other opportunities to address other serious issues in society. Migrant crime, carjackings, gun violence, etc. People are also exposed to these things. Why isn't she concerned about anxiety caused by actual crime, which is rampant in DC.

This is a Catholic school that costs almost $50k per year so yes it’s by definition for rich Catholics, pretty similar to most of the other schools discussed in this forum. Like many other schools there is a formal dance at the end of senior year, which is optional. There are around 400 girls in the high school, lots of different academic interests, sports, arts, etc. I’ve never heard anyone say it’s the blonds vs lepers, this is a very strange take on the school and not at all our experience.

She sends messages about topical issues all the time and there is always someone who disagrees, I don’t entirely agree with what they highlight but I also think it’s impossible to thread the needle in such a big and diverse community.

I think most families are nice and the HOS seems quite nice as well but yes I agree that a few bad apples can ruin the bunch. 2028 class has apparently been taken over by just a few mean country club moms that have made the grade very polarized. I hear they did/do the same apparently at their son's school as well.

You think using the military for domestic crime fighting is okay? Please move to North Korea. How about measures to improve circumstances in the District instead of sending in combat troops that are not trained to deal with domestic law enforcement. How about not exaggerating the amount of crime (which was already trending down) to play dictatorial war games. Everyone wants to prevent and address crime. People don't want a militarized autocratic government.

Shockingly, many people find this display stressful and upsetting even as they would like to see crime addressed. So hard to believe, I know.

Or maybe just a person of color who doesn’t want to be subjected to unwarranted search and seizure. My daughter was walking out of the Nats game and her Hispanic friends walking with her were detained and asked to show proof of citizenship. You don’t need to be a criminal for this to effect you and those cheering tend to be people who will never be on the painful side of this.

There are plenty people of color who are safer in DC now than they ever were--people who live in the neighborhoods that have the constant gun violence. Obviously you don't have any concern for them...just the wealthy POC visiting the city or from NW.

Interesting, my DD of color and her friend of color recently attended an evening Nats game as well. They knew about the teen curfew implemented BEFORE Trumps takeover, and I reminded them not to f-around after the game (it was late) and head home. How big was this group? Because Bowser created the group rule for teens under a certain age? Also, asking for CITIZENSHIP? More likely asking for ID, to verify this group had permission to be assembling/hanging out in Navy Yard at the time they were. Bowser put these rules into effect (and at national harbor) maybe even 14th/u but not sure. While I don’t agree at all with what trump is doing, the last thing we need is hyperbole. You don’t have to be a citizen to have a DL, btw.

You left out that these are all athletic recruits. But yes that is impressive. There is also a lacrosse commit to Princeton.

Personally. I think it’s the 29s.
