[quote=Anonymous]Schools are often prestigious based on their performance over the last 50+ years, as well as for behaviors that in 2022 would clearly be frowned upon (ie, years ago NCS/STA would only accept the “elite” which definitely had a strong racial and socioeconomic component to it). Prestige may or may not be permanent (anyone who went to Sidwell in the late 80s/early 90s can confirm how much the reputation of the school had changed over the years). “Fit” is based on how the school is NOW, which is what your child will actually experience - and that experience can’t be changed by any future fall or rise in the schools perceived prestige. For me, fit wins. [/quote]
