[quote=Anonymous]We had fallen in love with BFCD when we heard that the academics are relatively weak compared to the DC privates (NCS, Sidwell, Maret, GDS). Certainly, a number of DCUM posts from bitter-sounding ex-parents suggest that this is the case. As BFCD only goes though grade 8, DC would have to transfer for high school. SSSA, Browne, and Westminster are not good fits. If you look at BFCD's emissions list, they've had graduates attend a number of the DC privates, including Maret, which would be our top choice. it's hard to believe the academics are that bad, but it's difficult to tell from the outside. if BFCD is truly as weak as some reports suggest, we would apply to the DC privates. Any ideas on how to verify a school's academic strength or weakness, preferably using more objective standards than parent opinion alone? [/quote]
