[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We live in Alexandria, but our children go to school in DC, so I have an parent/neighbor perspective on SSSAS. [b]Athletes, both boys are girls, seem to get put on a higher social pedestal at SSSAS than they would be at schools like GDS or SFS.[/b] But, how different is that really than 99% of American high schools? We know tons of great kids in the neighborhood that go there and get a fine education. I interviewed a senior at SSSAS this year for my alma mater that was the exact opposite of the athlete stereotype. She was a socially popular leader in student government and drama and an all-around super-impressive artsy 17 year old. So there is room for lots of different kinds of girls at SSSAS and non-athletes can really shine there too.[/quote] Of course. SSSAS is in suburban VA. Of course the jocks rule the roost.[/quote]
