[quote=Anonymous]DH went to SSSAS and was the son of country club parents with a ton of money, but he said the years at SSSAS were the worst years of his life. He said bullying was rampant and administration looked the other way, some teachers would even get in on making fun of the less popular kids. Worst of all, he said it was extremely racist. Academically, he felt unprepared for college even though he was on the honor roll at SSSAS. Most of his classmates from there either can't even afford to send their own kids to SSSAS themselves and or also comment on how much they hated their time there. I actually took a tour of the school, but my husband refused to even step foot in there so our son goes to a different private in Alexandria. I am sure things have changed since he went to school there, but I share his experience to let those of you who think coming from a rich country club family does not automatically get you a place at the table.
