[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Back to the original question—nicest parents?[/quote]

Schools with the least amount of Chevy Chase club parents or people that choose their kids’ school to desperately network to get in or improve their social standing at the club.  [/quote]

Then I would say definitely steer clear of SR. Most of the non inclusive, CCC members have moved to that school. Not sure why. Have friends there who said they have soured their experience. [/quote]

We are a newish SR family, not club members.  Both club and not club people have been friendly, and the girls have been nice to our daughter. The school has also had plentiful community events, which helps. My husband has really enjoyed the dad's club activities too. Has felt like something for everyone.[/quote]

I have two friends there and they are considering applying out. They say the parent community is very clubby and not inclusive in their prospective grades. [/quote]

That’s interesting to hear. I have 2 girls at SR who have been there for years and because my spouse and I both work a lot we don’t participate in almost any of the social activities. We go to support our girls’ sports when we can but we don’t make much of an effort to reach out to other parents. We are not members of any country clubs and I hope we don’t seem like snobs, but maybe a new family would see us that way.[/quote]

No is taking offense at you because they don't even know you exist.

the snobby parents are those who attend every event but ignore anyone not in their clique.  the ones you can meet 10 times because your kids are friends and yet they still look through you in the hallway.[/quote]
