[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Prep is not a joke academically, and is not the public school you pay $40K for (that's Bullis) and it is not a half way house for lacrosse meatheads (that's Landon), but it is a decent school. It is unfortunately mispriced for what it is: a decent Jesuit school. If you want a decent Jesuit school for $20K instead of $35K, send your kid to Gonzaga. For a sporty kid it is all Gonzaga now. Prep has a few outstanding athletes in sports like swimming, but in general the administration of the school is trying to trim the athletics largesse in favor of a "more rigorous academic experience" which is a very Catholic kind of way of saying "we really f'ed up to sell our souls for a stupid lacrosse team and a $25mm sports center, and now we are taking W-2s...err...I mean applications from non-Catholics to come make our school more diversified".

Sidwell is just a straight up tight puckered assed serious academic school where your son or daughter will be friends with diplomats and world leaders in addition to getting a great education. Sports wise Sidwell almost prides itself in being terrible, so as not to project any image of being a rock jock shop.

Is that the cut the baloney comparison you wanted?[/quote]

Really hard to take you seriously when you regurgitate that tired "public HS you pay for crap".  We all know that's code for "Bullis is a lesser school because they have so many people of color".

Nice racist garbage, you idiot.[/quote]
