[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]New poster here. We are very interested in St. Albans. The next entry year for us would be 7 and then 9th. We are very happy in our parochial catholic school and plan to be there through 8th grade. What are the benefits to applying in 7th vs. 9th? For those with kids at the school, would love to hear your experience at the middle school level and high school level. [/quote]k Are you in 6th now? I hear that is a very tough class of parents. It can make a difference in your experience at a school like STA where parents are very hands on in parties and activities all the way through….[/quote] What? Sixth is a particularly nice group. [/quote] Agreed. Most friendly grade in the Lower school in my opinion.[/quote] Heard it is very insular among the Chevy crowd. [/quote] Really? Where did you “hear” that? 🙄 [/quote] NP. Oh, please. Everyone knows about the nasty Chevy crowd at STA. Insecure mean girls still functioning like they’re in junior high. Almost all are proud SAHMs with nothing meaningful going on in their lives that derive their self-deluded status from home remodels, parties, clothes, and vacays. So fun watching them go at each other. A shallow moronic crowd that is a toxic element at STA. [/quote] It depends on the grade and thankfully ceases to be an issue by high school. We came in 9th and I couldn't even tell you who the CCC members are. [/quote] DP. Because you are not invited to their events and sadly neither is your kid. Your kid knows trust me. [/quote] :P Actually he's been invited to the CCC many times for pre-parties, ice skating, golf, dinner, etc. Really, it does not matter that we're not members. And I really could give a crap whether we (parents) are invited to hang out with the CCC or any other country club crowd. Our kid is in high school. We have our own friends. We're not trying to make new BFFs. By high school the boys make their own friends. Many of the most popular boys are not members of any club. Some of the CCC boys are ones who struggle socially. It's no longer about who your mom invites over or who your parents are close friends with. [/quote] Oh, dear God. It’s the crazy STA mom who rattles off the things her son is invited to by the CCC. She doesn’t care of course but needs to let you know her son is in Da Club. :roll: She says she doesn’t know who the CCC members are despite her son hanging out with their children… frequently as she’ll have you know.
