[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you want a more open and accepting atmosphere Eaton may be slightly better. Stoddert and Key are solid academically and more or less equivalent. Key has a powerful PTO that influences decision making at the school, whereas Stoddert's PTO is mainly just fundraising. Stodderts aftercare is cheaper i think. Both Stoddert and Key aftercare can be hard to get into. Stodderts aftercare is mainly outdoors even when it is close to freezing because they only have access to the cafeteria rather than the gym, which hosts a DPR program. I assume key has access to its gym. I love an outdoors program and it is well done, but a few parents wants their kids inside during winter. Between those two consider which is better for your commute as well. The vast majority of Stoddert graduates attend Hardy. I believe the number is a little less at Key with more parents switching to privates  but am not sure. [/quote]

At Key - out of a class of 75 kids from kindergarten - only 10 of those kids were at Hardy in last year's 6th grade. Vast majority are gone by 4th, and by then the non-private (more of the kids of color and lower-income) kids remain and are then in trailers for 4th and 5th. And the Principal at Key is completely out of touch.[/quote]
