[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kids are six years apart.  So doing search all over again (first child in a single sex school and second is different gender).   Even just in 6 years, it seems like the reputation,  vibe,  and even physical plant has changed at most schools.  But others seem forever stuck (looking at you,  Maret).  I don't want to slant the discussion with my own views,  although Maret does seem like a time capsule from the 90s, with indoor athletic facilities from the 40s.

So what schools rising and which ones losing their luster?[/quote]

I agree. It seems like as Maret has shot up in the academic rankings to equal the likes of GDS, Sidwell, etc. it has paid less attention to its athletic facilities. I think they're building a new off-campus outdoor facility though.[/quote]

Maret made it a priority a few years ago to slow their tuition increases, so they are now somewhat less expensive than the other top schools.  Don't get me wrong, they are still plenty pricey, but you're looking at a few thousand dollars less each year vs. the others.  [/quote]
