[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]let me be blunt.  It's located in PG county.  I would never send my kid to a school in that county.  Maybe a decent area in DC is as much risk as I would take.[/quote]

Sorry for you for missing out on wonderful people because you're too blinded by your racism and classism.

OP, lots of good, seemingly firsthand replies. I'll add that if your child has a learning disability, DeMatha offers good scaffolding and academic support. We also love that DeMatha's student body looks like America -- all of America, not just the lily white -- so is a good primer for life outside of Bethesda and, at least in our experience, lends to developing empathy.

Well put, PP. I'm not the OP, but was tempted to respond to this of ignorant comment myself.

DeMatha's location, in between the arts district and UMD, not to mention inside the Beltway and near the D.C. line, and its people are partially what makes it such a gem. It is a true melting pot that pulls students from all walks of life and all kinds of interests and abilities together. It's not a utopia, but it reflects the real world in a way that many schools do not. Every student there is better off because of it. [/quote]
