[quote=Anonymous]In California, I heard about St Albans (but not Beauvoir or NCS), Madeira (as a boarding school), Sidwell, SSSAS, St Anselms, and Potomac in sentences with phrases like “good private in metro DC”. Now, I never thought it was a complete list, nor did I think those necessarily were “best”, nor did anyone out there claim those were best. But those did have some brand recognition in SJC/SFO at a tech company… Smartest guy I worked with there had gone to St Anselms (and hated the social experience while conceding it was a good education). No idea why NCS & Beauvoir did not come up. Was told StAlbans & St Anselms were boys school and Madeira was a girls school. I think “known outside DC” has a huge amount of randomness in practice. I also think substance and brand recognition often do not correlate well. So maybe an entertaining discussion, but probably not really useful insight into where one’s own DC will thrive… [/quote]
