Episcopal High School?

[Anonymous]

What is episcopal like from parents/students who have attended there? Did you like it, why? Do episcopal students normally hangout with other dmv private/public schools? Thanks!

No because they board.

If op doesn’t realize it’s a boarding school, they need to do more research

I know its a boarding school, wondering more about what school is like from people have went their/had kids that went there?

My brother went and loved it a long time ago.

I can't remember the exact schools because "pre pandemic" seems like a million years ago but there used to be a decent number of mixers and social events for the local boarding school kids to get together with kids from other schools -- Woodberry, Blue Ridge, Foxcroft, Madeira and I think Episcopal.

Episcopal kids and TC kids sometimes hang out together - there was some dating between the two schools in pre-Covid times.

EHS alum here. Great experience for the white, affluent and privileged. Not much interaction w DC privates. It is 100% boarding. I know of no social events with Madeira, Foxcroft etc.

I completely agree w PP. Check out Black@EHS on IG if you are Afri American before you go there. Very "southern"culture.

There’s an Alexandria mother living through her daughter who posts non-stop photos of children at the school. You won’t have to ask around much to figure out who she is and you’ll be able to see everything you need to see there.

My DC attended and is a recent graduate. It is a great education, but the kids are pretty horrible to one another. The social life was seriously HARD CORE and lots of pressure to wear high end brands. I would never send another child there for this reason. Also, tons of drugs and sex starting in 9th grade. Parents may deny this, but my DC tells me everything - even where the kids go on campus to hook up and have sex. Yes, it is more than at local day schools.

That would be impossible

This gossip is so tacky. I feel sorry for anyone who has to live through their child. Hide the poster if you have such a problem with it, PP. it’s possible to do that without unfriending or unfollowing.
