[quote=Anonymous]Op here - yes I'm looking for advice and constructive comments, and thanks to those of you who provided same!  There are several very appealing sounding k-8 schools named on this thread but I really don't want to put DC into one school for 6-8 and then have to do a new search again in 8th grade so we only want to look at school ls that go through 12th grade. St Andrews sounds great but we are jewish and I am worried DC will feel uncomfortable and/or hypocritical about the religion component, but it can't hurt to add it to the list to look. So I think the only schools I've got on our list for next year are Field, GDS (although I suspect that will be too much of a pressure cooker environment for DC), Maret, and now St. Andrews. Since GDS and Maret are long shots and I'm sure that Field and St. Andrews are competitive in their own right, it doesn't feel like a very long list! There are a lot of privates in the area but it seems that most are religious or end at grade 8.

I saw someone suggest Burke but DC wants a traditional high school experience with sports teams, rah rah school spirit, and I didn't think that was the vibe at Burke, but I will look at it since I don't know that firsthand. [/quote]
