[quote=Anonymous]We are looking to apply to high school for my rising 8th grader this year. We are looking for a school that 1) has interesting STEM programming, 2) not 100% centered around sportiness -- my DS is not gifted in that area and we know at some schools, that can be a big social hit for a boy, and 3) really has a kind/sweet group of kids and families as part of its grade personality. Considering the small grade sizes of independent schools in this area, we are very aware of how the chemistry of a given grade can be wonderful, and another can be very challenging. So I was hoping there are some parents online for our target schools that could speak to the dynamic of the rising 8th graders at Bullis, St. Andrew's, Burke and Field. SSFS was also on our list but I'm getting a little worried seeing the tumult there, but if there are any parents from the 8th grade there too, that would be wonderful. Thanks![/quote]
