DC is such a strange place. My oldest child’s high school (when we still lived in Texas) has these accounts so students can see where their upper class men friends go. It was celebrated at the end of the year and parents gathered during PTA to do a college-based secret Santa exchange in May. I find it so sad here, because any college or future opportunity is seen as cutthroat and competitive. Why anyone is commenting on another persons child and where they go to college without the words “congrats” and “that’s so exciting” is a really sad personality quirk here that I dislike. |

BIM has better outcomes per capita and rates above GDS in MDV rankings. |

My kid didn’t post. She initially didn’t want to because she felt it was putting kids who didn’t know yet under pressure. The ED round can cause kids to spiral. Then later in year she just decided that those who know her would know where she was going through her personal stuff and not the big instagram page.

LOL. Sure, it’s “creepy” from parents who have probably been plastering their kids all over SM for 17 years. The websites are public. Students can choose to post to them or not. I know nothing about the students, don’t even look at the pictures of the students, but I do look at the names of the colleges. I do want to see where kids are from our high school are being admitted. I couldn’t tell you the name, gender or race of a single kid on our school’s insta. I’m only looking at the school name. I also look at the scattergrams on naviance. |

Is this a troll post? Plucky little school! It’s an expensive school full of mostly privileged and legacy students. I wouldn’t expect anything less. |

I was thinking the same. So tired of the uber entitled dominating this board. Can't they all just meet up for a boozy lunch and brag to each other? Barf. |

This is the best thing around. Makes me proud of my kids’ poorly-rated, gigantic HS. (which we have had a really great experience with) We could never afford GDS, but pretty glad we can’t because if “plucky school” poster is indicative of them - yuck. |
