[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, it depends on what you mean by “mediocre”.

If your DC’s preference is any one of these:

SFS
GDS
STA
NCS
Holton
SAAS
Potomac
Madeira
Episcopal
Maret
Landon
WIS
G’town Prep
Bullis
Stone Ridge
SSSAS
Flint Hill
SAES
Gonzaga
Visi
Good Counsel
SJC

Then none of them is truly mediocre.  Do some have more average students than others, yes, of course.  But they are all really good schools.  There are others that I’m not thinking of that are also probably in that category, I’m just less familiar with them.

PP here.  My list was not meant to be exhaustive. I don’t much about either of those.  The vast majority of other schools I have at least some first hand knowledge of, either through a DC attending, or the research/application process, or various friends’/colleagues’ kids attending. I’d include them. I’d probably include BI, DJO and PVI too, for that matter.  They are on par to probably slightly better than the neighborhood public HS in their community. Again, not meant to be excluded.  My point is that all of these are above “mediocre”.  I’m sure there are plenty of mediocre private schools in the DMV, I just happen to think the vast majority of kids can get a really good education at any of the mentioned ones.[/quote]
