[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Curious about admission status for the lower schools here…seems like a lot more WL and D than I’m used to hearing (from word of mouth). [/quote]

Why do people go to these super expensive private schools? I feel a smaller less expensive schools have equal good quality of education for this age. [/quote]

We had our kids at a less expensive school upcountry and the education is NOT equal.  My son started at Bullis in 4th grade and the quality of education was incomparable.  He actually almost felt a little bit behind when he started.    My other child was a late birthday and I kept asking less expensive private if we should hold her back.  I was noticing she felt like she wasn't keeping up with the other students and they told me not to worry, that everything was fine.  When we switched Bullis, it was found out that she has ADHD and Dysgraphia because her teacher at that school noticed the same things we did.

So while I am sure that a student can get a good education at a less expensive private, the more expensive privates tend to have better resources and experiences for the students.  It's not for everyone and that's okay.  Every family has to do what is right for them and for ours, Bullis was the right choice.  No matter where you go, there will always be pros and cons, but it's up to each family to find what works best for them.  [/quote]
