[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The thing about Sheridan is this - it was the second choice for almost every family enrolled.  When GDS/Beauvoir acceptances did not come through, Sheridan was the safety.  I think this is a great humbling experience for many.  Maybe as a result, the families here seem nicer than many others I meet from other DC private schools.  They also come in, I think, with the attitude that we're here, let's make the best of it, The other thing about Sheridan is this - all said families end up loving the place and years down the road believe being rejected/waitlisted at the likes of GDS/Beauvoir was a true blessing in disguise.[/quote]

Totally disagree. 1st grade mom here and my child is in a class with other kids whose parents clearly had Sheridan as their #1 choice. And this year's new K class has about 15 sibling kids in it. Yes, its easier to make the choice for the 2nd kid when you are so happy with the 1st kid's positive experience. But it debunks the notion that Sheridan is folks' "second choice". I cannot tell you how many parents I have talked to who have said that upon coming to hear the HOS speak, that it was the ONLY school that they even applied to.  Nevertheless, regardless of whether its your #1 choice or not, its an AMAZING school and it thoughtful and conscientious in everything it does. We are so proud to be a part of the wonderful community at Sheridan and that takes nothing at all away from the wonderful communities that also exist at other schools. [/quote]
