[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DD graduated from NCS 8 years ago. She got a great education but it was definitely a pressure cooker. Agree with the sentiment that great girls get the message that they are not good enough throughout the process. One point is that the academic pressure is only a piece of it. My DD had more pressure from the social norms about how to look, dress, act, etc. It is a very conformist place and she felt a lot of judgment on lots of fronts. [/quote] I graduated from FCPS in the 1980s and this describes my experience. What you've described is what most kids face in high school. NCS has always had a reputation for being a rigorous school, so I'm left to wonder why so many parents complain after their DDs are admitted.[/quote]
