[quote=Anonymous]It was great to see how rational and even-handed this topic was until one person with a bone to pick jumped in. I second the call for calm. As a mom of a recent NCS alum who got into both NCS and Holton (and chose NCS based largely on location but also no uniforms), I'd echo the earlier comments - they are both wonderful and have their unique strengths. As a parent I never saw evidence that any of the negative girls' school stereotypes were more prevalent at NCS than at any other DC-area school. My daughter loved the performing arts at NCS and gained a lot of confidence from participating in plays and dance performances. The academics were not easy, but she credits the school with giving the confidence to feel she could tackle any college major she chose and giving her very close friendships that she'll have the rest of her life. We feel fortunate to have been part of the community there.[/quote]
