[quote=Anonymous]My view as the parent of a lifer: The bigger the school gets (22 in PK vs. 128 senior class) the less tight the community will be. In Lower School, it's much easier to get to know people and there are many opportunities to do so. However, while parents are certainly not as involved in upper school, where their children are expected to be more independent, there is a lot of camaraderie around cheering for sports teams and, to some extent, music performances. There are also opportunities to volunteer and the parent potlucks continue in upper school. There are definitely a few very wealthy families and some alpha parents - this is Washington, after all. Some of the wealthiest are also some of the nicest, most unassuming people. The school is big enough that everyone should be able to find his/her niche, parents and kids.[/quote]
