[quote=Anonymous]On private schools: Private schools in the area are generally harder to get into than the DC area (fewer slots, more competition), except perhaps for smaller parochial schools. They are also more expensive. On the plus side, they are better at STEM than DC area schools in general. They will also have little to no patience for requests to remove rainbow flags if there are any, and odds are high there will be the occasional rainbow flag in private school classrooms (except for small parochial schools). Actually, making a fuss about rainbow flags will probably get you quickly counseled out at the good private schools, if you even make it past the admissions process. They won’t want to keep someone they view as a time waster, and there is a line out the door for admissions. There are lots of conservatives at Silicon Valley private schools but they are libertarian leaning, not social conservatives.

Silicon Valley private schools are more like New York than DC. There is more money, more competition, and more rigor. [/quote]
