[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What is episcopal like from parents/students who have attended there? Did you like it, why? Do episcopal students normally hangout with other dmv private/public schools? Thanks![/quote]

I heard from someone who attends that their football games start like clan rallies - people in hoods, burning torches. [/quote]

There is a strong legacy culture. Looking at the Black@ehs account was kind of crazy. Frankly, I wouldn't go there unless I was white and protestant. Many families have been going there for generations and do not want any type of change. If I had a girl wanted to stay in the DC metro area, I'd look at Madeira. Boy maybe Mercersburg or St. James. Those schools seem more open and have more diversity even in the white population. [/quote]

I thought she was kidding about the robes and flames. Nope.

In other news, I was at a fancy DC fundraiser ladies who lunch even and a lot of women were from NYC, all knew each other and used the event on a Thurs. to have a weekend in DC to visit their kids. They did not seem to work. WHy didn't their kids go to a fancy day school in NYC? I was not even born MC so this...1% thing freaked me out a little. Still confused. [/quote]

Their kids were probably canceled out of their New York City private schools in the eighth grade. And it’s more piercing to transfer to a lower prestige day school in New York than it is to send your kids to a mediocre boarding school like Episcopal. That way you can claim that you wanted boarding rather than day. If you switch your kid from Dalton to Hewitt, everyone’s going to know she was counseled out[/quote]

Sorry there is a lot of typos in this as I am dictating. Counseled out, not canceled out. And it’s more embarrassing[/quote]
