[quote=Anonymous]You should not have a problem getting kids into Friends on an off year. Park may be closer to full, but if it thinks your family is a fit, they will also likely find a way. Re: Friends - I had a kid there and have to disagree with PP on a number of points. Certainly in lower school it is far more diverse than most other area schools, except for maybe Wilkes School at Grace and St Peter, which I beleive is 40%+ AA. There is more economic diversity as well. By upper school, I think this tends to even out. I thought that the school was fairly "Quaker," but then my DC had teachers who were Friends' graduates and they fully embraced the Quaker aspect of the school. I don't think the school is very interested in challenging the very advanced, though it's pretty good at bringing along kids who need extra help. The math program is not great. We did, in fact, move to a more challenging school, but there is much to like about Friends. [/quote]
