[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I went to a private school in Atlanta and still have family at one now and my kids are at a big3/5 or whatever here. Here’s my take.

There aren’t as direct comparisons as one might expect in part bc Atlanta (while not that southern) is more conservative than DC.

That said, Westminster is definitely closest to St Albans. Lovett is sorta the same - maybe more like a Potomac. [b]It is decidedly not like sidwell. [/b]Admittedly high school was awhile ago, but they used to hand out pamphlets at all the sports games titled ‘Rules for moms to follow along’

Paideia is more liberal than both for sure but not as liberal as GDS. It’s more of a combo of gds/maret/sidwell. But it’s across town from buckhead. Galloway I think is more like Field. I am dated on Marist and Pace and such.

The other difference is there are fewer ‘hooked kids’ - fewer ivy legacies and the vip types you get at nyc and dc privates. That part is nice as not everyone feels they need to go to Yale bc dad did. And they cost way less down there which is nice.
