[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We are considering applying to The Heights for our son, who is currently enrolled in a Catholic elementary school. We know two families with sons who attend, and they rave about the school. But we have also spoken to others who say it reeks of elitism. Would a boy coming from a middle class family fit in there?[/quote] We know many families there. All absolutely love it. Appx half of those that we know come from modest means and make sacrifices to send their boys there. It was extremely competitive to get in this year - FYI. Start early.[/quote] Thank you so much. That’s helpful info., as we decide if we should apply. We plan to visit first, but it helps to hear from other parents. How many kids come from VA/DC versus MD? The two families we know (NOVA) love it, but the elitist comments from others at our school concerned me. We also know of two families who did not get in this year. One was waitlisted for the lower school. The other was applying for upper school. My son is currently a first grader, so we would start the process next year for third grade. Thanks for your response.[/quote]
