[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thanks for all the info!. Jamestown sounds like Big Little Lies. Maybe we will avoid that one. [/quote]

Jamestown is a little like Big Little Lies, but still a great school. The principal is wonderful and there is low teacher turnover. There are a handful of DC transplants at Jamestown, many from capital hill. My kids have all enjoyed their experience there.

The Prom voting things was stupid, but those that chose to participate enjoyed it. Most people didn't participate. There was no pageant, and it wasn't just husbands voting for wives. I don't know anyone going to Europe for spring break. Most families do travel for spring break, but mostly in America. The bus comment sounds like some uniformed parent made a comment. The PTA never heard of this and certainly never suggested it. WGCC is certainly part of the vibe of the school, but only a small portion of families are actually members. There traditionally was an annual auction and party at WGCC but that hasn't happened since Feb 2020. About 20% of the families went to private school during Covid and many were the most well-off families, but for sure most families at Jamestown are well-off.

If you are staying in public school for middle and high school, you should consider that in your elem decision. All of Jamestown is zoned for WMS then YHS. Some of the other schools mentioned split to different middle schools and/or to different high schools. [/quote]
