[quote=Anonymous]Maybe it is because the school is not in the District, but it def. has a different vibe then the DC schools. I would describe it as Republican/Clubby/Suburban/Conformist. While it has it's fair share of alums, I'd guess a large number of parents attended less competitive public schools and universities in the south. Social status and athletics are the golden ticket more so then academics. Bullying is common, starting in the youngest grades, and little is done about it. In general, it is not viewed as an overly selective or intellectual place - but a school where members of a certain social group (or those wanting to break into a certain social group) tend to flock.
