[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Reading the dcum threads I noticed that posters from the top schools tend to be super toxic and hyper competitive. Any recommendation of a good schools but without the drama of parents who think too much of themselves? [/quote]

I am not being glib, but you need to look at public schools.  The parent culture you are describing is present at every private school, and it is inevitable given the way that privates are structured economically and socially.

Buy a home in a district with a high end public school and you will get great education and sports (or whatever activity your DC is into) without the toxicity and drama of the parent culture you are describing.  In Virginia, I recommend Langley, Yorktown, McLean, and Madison, in that order.  I don't know the Maryland publics as well, but someone across the river can chime in with recommendations. I don't think you will find publics in DC of that caliber, but if I am wrong, someone can please share those too.

Best of luck![/quote]

Toxic culture exists at public schools too. Seriously. I went to one and my friends are sending their kids to them now. Those are all wealthy suburbs with the same type of parents. You have to find your people. The toxic people are loud but at my kids independent schools were not the majority.  Classism exists every where and drives much of the toxicity. [/quote]
