[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We have children in both LS and MS, and both started in 3rd grade.  We adore the LS head...she has really inspired students to read broadly and frequently.  We love the arts program in the LS...from the kind visual art teacher to the great instrumental program.  The LS is nurturing and challenging, and the teachers have been great.  My MS student is very happy.  Many of the teachers are fairly seasoned, but they also have some young, newer teachers.  She's participated in several sports programs as well as the winter musical, which is quite a production.  We live in Montgomery County, so I can't speak to your commute, but know that my daughter has play dates with kids from all over the DC metro area.   One of her closest friends lives in NW DC.  I'm not really sure why people on this listserve are always bashing Bullis for (weak) academics and strong Varsity sports.  With 650 students grades 2-12, it is impossible to generalize about the "Bullis Student" or why he or she ended up at the school.  We've been really happy with the community and our children's academic experiences.[/quote]

Of course all the students are happy.  They are either on scholarship, on loan from another school, or have so much less work than a normal private school that they must be happy.  That is, until SATs come and you realize an A student at Bullis is not going to the Ivy League.  And then college acceptances, or should I say, rejections come and then suddenly you realize that it was the public school that I paid for.  Ooops.[/quote]
