[quote=Anonymous]A number of trolls are afoot so let me try a fact-based response to the original question.  I am a member of the Parents Council of Washington which is comprised of representatives of all the area's independent schools.  There are no system-wide data on drug use at the area independent schools.  Anecdotally, most of the high schools have use issues and concerns related to drugs and alcohol.  It is the reality of our times, exacerbated by our being high-expectations parents in an overachieving town.

During the 2014-15 school-year, several schools stepped up their attention to alcohol and drug use, including GDS (sorry to whoever likes to flame GDS), which they shared at a PCW meeting that spring and, I recall, posting on their website.

The consistent message across the community is parent engagement and vigilance.  It's up to us to equip our children with the best judgement possible and with the ability to make responsible choices.  They begin and end their day with us.[/quote]
