[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Middle and High School.  Thank you.[/quote]

Lots of this has been covered.  To purport sterotypes - sure why not... thats what this Board is for...

GDS - Loosy goosy - informal and non-structured.  Great for hipsters and artists.  Not the Dr, lawyer, investment bankers types....  Knock is the progressive style may get you into an exceptional college....unclear if they produce driven graduates.  Not athletic.  Like the school - the admissions office is frenetic and disorganized.

Maret - Hard one to figure.  Seems to just be a nice average DC private that gets a lot of press because it is hard to get into given a wonderful campus and location near other top schools.  Seems to be a range of learners.  Not a top academic school.  Between alums, sibs, connected, just not a lot of spots.  Lots of buzz for an average student to be in a spectacular NW setting.  Top students/athletes - not their first choice.  Very warm and friendly admissions office - no clue why people get in or dont....

Sidwell - lots of buzz since its got the Obamas.  Structured with some progressive.  Not especially warm.  Professional and a bit cold.  [/quote]

This was written by someone with a poor grasp of the English language (please look up "purport") and an even poorer understanding of these three schools.   [/quote]

As a parent who went through this two years ago....Id have to say pretty spot on.  You must have been rejected from SFS.  [/quote]
