[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I found SAES to be involved, responsive, and helpful during all parts of the process. They had read our application before the interview, were warm and open in conversations, presented a great virtual open house, and gave multiple opportunities for parents and kids to come onto campus.

I agree but they dropped the ball after admissions decisions came out. Communication was horrible and it really scared us away. Such a weird time for the wheels to come off the bus.[/quote]

Saes is an average school, not a great school.  If your child got into a higher performing school, go there and don't concern yourself any further with St. Andrew's shortcomings.[/quote]

Do you think Bullis is better?[/quote]

Someone on here clearly has a bone to pick with SAES lately. There have been several posts with the same bitter theme about how it’s not a a strong school, or it’s gotten “too big for its britches,” or whatever. It seems to happen with schools from time to time on here, and it’s unfortunate because people can’t tell if it’s one or two disgruntled parents or a real issue.

Fwiw, we chose SAES over Bullis. I don’t think the academics between SAES and Bullis are likely all that different. Our K-8 felt both would serve our DC, who is a strong student, well academically. We have friends with kids at both schools who are happy. [/quote]
