I really liked SSASS admissions for US. DC did not choose it, but it seemed like a really nice place to go to school.

I do wonder about it socially etc for non-athletes. They definitely have other programs and there’s definitely kids that don’t play sports, but the fields/facilities alone speak to the emphasis on the importance of sports at that school.[/quote]

SSSAS outdoor athletic facilities - the fields - are quite nice. And there is a new baseball structure that is at the front of the school.  But it does not mean athletics are dominant. There isn’t a major athletic building. Try going to Sidwell, Potomac, Landon, Prep or the Cathedral schools where the athletics centers are truly top tier. It doesn’t mean they prioritize athletics over academics or other extracurriculars. SSSAS requires sports or the equivalent like all these other schools. And as for dominance, aside from a few years of basketball there is only one sport that has truly dominated over the years.  [/quote]
