[quote=Anonymous]Burke and Field both sound like excellent target schools.  They get lumped together because they’re both in the District and serve grades 6-12.  They’re both known to be warm, inclusive, and supportive of imperfect students.  But I’ve heard that in terms of curriculum and educational style they can be quite different.  Burke is probably closer to you and provides that city vibe.  I’m not sure if I’ve ever read anything critical about the school on this forum. Field has more students. It’s a very nice campus, and they’ve been investing in substantive renovations and new building projects. They seem to open eyes each year with the great outcomes of their college admissions.  There might be some other great schools that others have recommended. Check them out and make applications because you need options if things don’t go as expected. Explore GDS and Maret, even though they might be too rigorous and high pressure. Going to their open houses gives you some comparison as to what a wrong school looks like versus a right school for your kid.
