[quote=Anonymous][quote]I think it is considered a "safety school" so to speak for Key school kids. I don't think it is anyone's first choice but if money and options aren't abundant, this is where you might wind up. Maybe you should think less and spend more time getting the facts. There are plenty of families who actually choose OLV. Some of the reasons are: -It's a good school. -It's in the neighborhood. -Some families want a Catholic education (kids go on to St. John's, Gonzaga, et al.). -Some people cringe at the idea of spending $30K+, even if they can afford it. (See recent thread on this topic). Yes, there are a lot of people who think that if their DC doesn't get in to a "Big-3" their lives are ruined, but just because a kid is at a "safety school" doesn't mean they are poor or were rejected by Sidwell. Stop perpetuating the idea that these kids and their families are in some way inferior because their choices are different from yours. [/quote]
