[quote=Anonymous]It is Niche, but hi 👋, probably going to out myself to anyone who knows my background that I'm on here, BUT I will answer your question.

So it is definitely a high quality school that is very comparable to the DC Big 3 in all but historical old guard prestige.  My grandmother was a NCS girl but when she and my grandfather moved down to South Florida after graduating from Georgetown law, my grandmother thought none of the private schools were up to snuff at the time.  Bear in mind, this was back in the day of the cocaine cowboys and the rest of Florida was a pretty backwaters small town place.  Miami was just turning into a place to be and it was a pretty seedy.  However, I'm sure we are all aware that air conditioning did a LOT for Florida and now it is a very different place.  Miami is a tech and finance hub connecting the Americas.  Even before the pandemic, NYC money had been moving down and they brought their prep school ideals with them.  At that point money was also coming in from South America, which helped raise sheer numbers as far as kids private schools were serving.  So today, the private schools are significantly better than they were when we were kids.

If I had to say one school in DC that Everglades compares to, I would probably say it is if Maret doubled in size with a touch of WIS's global mobility flavor.  Most of the money there is going to be International Finance money.[/quote]
