[quote=Anonymous]Our daughter started in sixth grade and is now in upper school. Middle school academics were great and the advisories were very helpful. The "mean girl" student body was the biggest problem, as my daughter had not encountered that in her public elementary school, at least not to that degree. I fully agree with the people who wrote about some of the children reflecting their parents' personality. This is only a minority of the student body, but it only takes a few to make life very miserable. I found that the school was generally supportive when I raised concerns and, unlike the public middle school we're zoned for, we actually had people who would listen and address our problems. Upper school is so much better socially, as the number of students increases, and those who join in upper school tend not to be from the insular wealthy Alexandria crowd.[/quote]
