[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am current parent at St. Patrick’s and we absolutely love it. We are a completely normal family, not wealthy, just normal. Most of the school is pretty normal. Yes, there are some rich families, but you really can’t figure out who they are unless you are looking for them. It’s not in your face. The community is welcoming and parents really get along and include everyone in events.

St Patrick’s is a warm and kind School that is still academically challenging in age appropriate ways. My children are all different and they all love it! The kids are genuinely happy there. It’s one of the best decisions we made.

I was a parent at St. Patrick's for over 15  years until very recently. Saying the wealth isn't in your face is ridiculous. Actually, it's not the wealth in your face so much as the social climbing and exclusivity. Those young moms using St. P's as their entree to Chevy--and if you can't help them, well, don't bother. And let's hear how the placement for current 8th graders just went then determine for yourself how well they have been prepared for the next step. [/quote]

There are some nice families but agree never heard of such mean mom behavior before in DC than I have heard about some of the Chevy crowd from St. Pats. If they had a bad outplacement year it wouldn’t surprise me because I have heard from multiple sources that one or two families have poisoned the well at a few schools with their mean mom behavior. Schools want kind communities.

It's sad to hear that you felt that way. I'm sorry. We had/are having a very different experience.
From my perspective, there are about 10-20 families who go to Chevy out of a school of 500 students. That's a really small amount. The great, great majority of families don't go and are nice and friendly.[/quote]

I think it has less to do with wealth and more to do with some of the mean moms at Chevy but that’s not just at St. Pats. You’ll hear the same thing about this crowd at Landon, Hollton and even a few at STA. Grown women telling others not to allow certain kids and families at their club because they don’t like their parents is poisonous to a community. I’ve never heard of any other club in this area doing such a thing. [/quote]

Bo school is perfect, but I’ve heard it more about St. Pats than I have about Holton, Landon, etc. [/quote]

I guess you make a good point. It’s no secret that some of the parents at Landon, Holton, and STA bring this behavior with them. Wish it were not the case because it gives St. Pats a bad reputation. [/quote]
