[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's actually not helpful at all because it is not truthful. My non-athletic, son is just about to graduate from a very academic college. He thrived at college because of the education he received at Bullis. I suspect the recent posters are laying hate on Bullis as families make school decisions this week. it makes me wonder if it is actually the marketing offices of competitor schools...or the parents they have coopted. Bullis has disrupted the private school market in the last few years, certainly with admissions, the Lower School and of course the college list. The culture is not toxic at all - frankly, the opposite. The focus on Wellness is real - and I know not just because of my son's experience but because I have a daughter there right now.[/quote]

We have been at Bullis for 8 years and the and the academics are very good.  You can take numerous academic paths and that was very important to us.  Our child is headed to a top school and it is because of the education they received at Bullis.  However, to say it’s not  toxic is not totally true.  While you may not have experienced or seen it, my child has seen stuff and told us about things that were pretty bad. The school does typically handle these situations, but I know people who have left because it was not handled well.  There is, probably like many privates, A LOT of entitlement and how some of these kids treat adults is appalling.  That said, it’s a decent size private with a lot of diversity and your child can definitely find friends that are a good fit for them.[/quote]
