[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Commute is a big deal in high school in my opinion. I live near Bullis and SAES, never considered SSFS.

I have a senior at SAES, and have been very happy academically. In hindsight, Bullis may have been a better fit socially. SAES seemed to get small quickly. I don’t think my child will look back with tons of fondness for their HS experience and will lose touch quickly with these friends. The college preparedness is really there though, and that’s worth a lot. The later start and short commute are major pluses as well.

Bullis was my child’s third choice and at the time, that seemed correct. I think Bullis has come a long way in a short time in terms of academics and reputation. We know a lot of happy families there. We also know many happy families at SAES.

Having said all that, and going through school choices multiple times, the kids know, that deserves a lot of weight, especially for HS. Take him to at least two of the admitted students events, point out things that he may not fully understand, and then trust his gut. I didn’t let my kids apply anywhere I would say no to.[/quote]

We chose St. Andrew's over Bullis and regretted the decision.  Our sons class at St. Andrew's was a disaster.  [/quote]
