[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]lol I’m not a mom, but I attended St. Andrews before the new building was constructed. The quality of education is extremely poor and literally zero kids from my grade went to Ivy League schools. I graduated from University with close to a 4.0 gpa though…..so the rigor of private schools does help prepare students for college. My roommates who had 4.2 GPAs from public high schools and sub-par SAT scores failed multiple classes and graduated with below 3.0 gpas. My SAT score was also in the 93rd percentile, but my high school gpa was abysmal lol. I was a very lazy student tbh and disliked most of the teachers.

Also, they pumped all our tuition money in to constructing the new building for future students. We used to sit on the floor like dogs during free periods while people would step over our legs in the hallways. It was so ridiculous. Sooo not worth the money. Pubic schools had way nicer resources, much much easier to get high GPAs, and shitty students were accepted to way more prestigious universities with lower SAT scores.

I have a sister who graduated from NCS and the school had nicer facilities, but not many acceptances to top universities. Very competitive with many Asian and Indian students. Meanwhile, my brother attended St Albans and he went to Columbia (Ivy league) and sooo many of his classmates went to Ivy League schools too. The bullying is apparently terrible though, since we had many smart guys transfer to St Andrews to escape it. And my brother got a black eye one time after he fought with a kid. [/quote]

Sorry you have such bad memories. If that was the case, it’s a 180 now. [/quote]

Well it was less than ten years ago…so idk how much could have changed tbh [/quote]

[b]This is bs.  The new building and campus was bought and built in the last 90s, early 2000s.  So if this PP is saying she went there in the old building and also less than 10 years ago, it’s just a bs post[/b].

I went there.  It was always the coed, less intense sibling to the cathedral schools.  It was founded to be an alternative to those schools so the fact that it is different is a feature, not a bug.  My class (30 years ago) had multiple Ivies, tons of competitive SLACs and top public’s as well as less “prestigious” schools.  Again, not every kid from any school is going to the top schools in the country especially when “top school” is such a subjective factor.   [/quote]

Bingo. I came to say just this. Weird that someone is putting forth effort to post false stories and so clearly false. Alum from the old building were much earlier than under a decade ago, clear lies. And the description of colleges attended by classmates is another obvious lie, since there is a lengthy history of stellar schools (including Ivy League) for top performing St. Andrew's students.
Maybe it's the active Bullis boosters that have been spamming DCUM with outplacement posts, seeking to 'sink' a competitor with sloppy lies and trolling??
