[quote=Anonymous]Bullis has always been the laughingstock of the IAC schools and has always been looked upon as the safety school - its a fact. Its college placement is GOOD but not excellent for a school where you dish out over $30,000+ a year.

The new headmaster has put a huge emphasis on building the community - well how do you do that - build an athletic program! As a long time follower of the IAC, it seems like Bullis is recruiting heavily for football and basketball.  Clearly the old headmaster (now at Sidwell) had no desire to build Bullis' athletics. Just last year, Bullis' basketball team was comprised of several transfer players as well as their football team. Just look at who their best football player was this year and their top basketball players - all transfer students. I kinda feel bad for the students and parents who have been there since the middle school working so hard to compete on the varsity and all of a sudden a new recruited transfer student shows up. Just last year, Bullis had a transfer student from Canada show up at its doors for the basketball season and suddenly transferred out this past summer. Bottom li

The school itself has very nice campus and some very nice academic buildings. I'm not sure what the school really stands as it tends to go in cycles every 5 -6 years when a new headmaster comes in. It has a state of the art Arts Center as well.

Its safe to say its academics are towards the low end when comparing it to the other IAC schools.
