[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think they increasingly have students from places other than Alexandria. The faculty is excellent, and I think folks from other communities talk about the quality of instruction (at least that was true for us — people we knew talked about the teachers’ being very strong. So we looked there) [/quote]

Wrong. It is one of the most homogenous populations for a private school.  Super high population comes from Old Town or Belle Haven.  Most of the kids and parents have known each other and socialized for years.  If you are not one of them, you are pretty much ostracized.[/quote]

Nope.  Not even close but nice try.  [/quote]

In our long experience with another private school, it is entirely possible that both of the opinions expressed in this thread are correct.

There was at our school a core group of people. All of them were DC natives and many of them were alumni or had other family connections to the school. Many were from the same neighborhoods, belonged to the same clubs and knew one another either from their youth or as adults.

There were also people at the school that were different in every way and they and their kids had no problem. They were, for the most part, oblivious and / or disinterested in the In-Crowd. They didn't really want to join a group that they had little in common with other than their sons going to the same school.
