Bullis:  monied parents with loose rules, kids are fast, not the brightest, parents host parties and take a blind eye.  Athletics most important.  A lot of one upping materially, kids’ care etc

SAES:  quirkier kids, athletics have improved, not on the party circuit (there’s a whole private school scene, trust me), parents engaged and low key. Academics very good.  While considerable wealth at the school it’s not cool to be showy.

I'm parent of two alums and a big fan of SAES.  While I agree generally with the above description of SAES (cant' comment on Bullis), there certainly was an element of the high school that was plugged into the (mostly) Potomac party scene, but it was a fairly small group.  My kids didn't hang with that crowd and I didn't even know it existed until parents were invited to an end of year party with kids and that clued me in.  I would also add that while SAES has its share of quirkier kids (in a good way), it also has plenty of kids that you would not describe as quirky.       [/quote]
