You deny whose elitism - Maret?  I have one at Maret and another at a big 3 and while both parent communities are pretty “Exclusive” and intense, the Maret community is certainly less racially, ethnically, or economically diverse. I guarantee a significant portion of the homogenous Maret parent community think of themselves as the most selective, elite in the area. My child is thriving, but we are turned off enough by the community that we did not choose Maret for our younger child, even with the Maret sibling benefit.  [/quote]

Huh? I don’t believe you are who you say you are. [/quote]

Agree. Maret is one of the most racially diverse schools in DC. Even more than GDS is think. I’m also curious what you mean by ‘sibling benefit?’[/quote]

NP.  You really don’t understand sibling benefit?  If a sibling already attends a school, that is an advantage for admission of the younger child because there is a desire to keep families at the school.  This benefit is greater at some schools than others and it doesn’t mean all siblings get in.  But, it helps and if there are two equal kids down to the last spot, for example, a sibling preference could easily tip the balance.[/quote]
