[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Bullis and Good Counsel are both good schools. Academics and sports are a great combination, and it's pretty much the standard for DC area privates. All schools are not like Sidwell, and.....that's ok.[/quote]

What people are missing is that Montgomery County is under serving a large group of kids who missed the GT boat by one or two points. If you are dyslexic and GT MoCo is legally required to provide you a challenging education. If you are dyslexic and miss the GT score by 1 point MoCo is not required to allow you in any AP classes. They actually will not let you in these classes. So parents are thankful that GC has IB programs for their IB kid as well as the Ryken for the dyslexic kid. I have also heard that Bullis has a learning center for kids that need extra help. Most these kids are able to handle the higher level classes but not if they are lectured to and left to read the text on their own.

You can say what you want about these two schools but they care less about their ranking and matriculation and they care more about the child. Many of us who are very successful business owners, dyslexic ourselves, are very impressed with schools like Bullis and GC (and many others) because[b] they have not gotten sucked into them National Merit scholar game [/b]to get higher rankings for their school. Parents are smart enough (well some of us are) to know that is a game MoCo has been playing for years. It's help the real estate though.[/quote]
Right... football if the game OLGC and Bullis got sucked into. Who cares about NMS when  you have football.[/quote]
