2000s: Sidwell, StA, NCS, GDS, Maret

DC has changed dramatically in the last 30 years, so what may have been true when we were growing up no longer is the case.

This is just false. GDS and Maret, while lovely schools are still a tier below Sidwell, STA, and NCS.

Just try to get a child into Maret. Easier to get in Cathedral or Sidwell.

Not necessarily agreeing with PP who says it is a tier below than Sidwell/STA/NCS, but that alone doesn't make it better.

Perhaps that's why it is such a great school. Same standards for all.

Really?

You read this thread, including the post you think is "sad," and posted at 11:30 pm on a Friday, darling. (Google "people in glass houses")
