[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The truth is that STA and Sidwell are schools that are as well known as Andover and Exeter in the top echelons of this country.  Other than that, there are a handful of schools in the DC area that are well regarded outside of the area (basically the list a PP posted of the top tier) but not at that same level. [/quote]

I never heard of St. Albans (or any of the DC privates) before moving here. [/quote]

That says more about you and your background than it does about STA.  As to other posts, they are just wrong, STA has never been considered just a nice day school.  It has a small boarding component and has been considered one of the top privates in the country for generations.[/quote]

We and our "backgrounds" are a part of the wide, wide world outside your bubble. But we get it. You like your bubble and only really care about those who have been born inside of it and will remain isolated there forever. I'm sure your school is very popular inside that vacuum. But it is also true that it simply does not register a blip for most of the world. I'm also sure you will disdain this post and find some way to show it.[/quote]
