[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I went to NCS and most of my classmates did not use drugs. There was the crowd that hung out in the bishops garden smoking pot and senior year some of the "popular" rich kids (the lifer/spring valley/went to dancing school/country club types), but I never saw it.

Maret and GDS and Burke had reputations for being very drug-gy.

I think the more rigorous the better because then you attract more serious kids, whereas the less rigorous schools are more likely to attract more slacker-ish/partying/rich kid types.[/quote]

She has three boys so commenting on NCS doesn’t seem to be particularly helpful…or correct for the current times. I have an US at the school and drinking is rampant. It’s definitely not a weed school (more of that at GDS, Sidwell, STA) but there is some cocaine use. A few years ago, a middle schooler had to go to rehab…just awful for the family.

I would like to point out that illicit drugs and alcohol may not be your biggest problem…many kids misue prescription drugs, particularly those for ADHD, and especially at rigorous schools. A boy at Sidwell died a few years ago misusing what he thought were clean ADHD meds but had fentanyl.

You are right to be concerned…[/quote]

My children attend Sidwell, and I have never heard about a fentanyl-related death of a student. Can you post a link to a newspaper article that cites this death? I’m sure this would have made the news.[/quote]

It happened and please let it go. [/quote]
Googling gets me nothing, not even a whiff of a Sidwell student dying of anything (except a 5th grader in 2019 in a bombing in Sri Lanka). So either pp has some real close inside knowledge about something that was completely covered up, or this is bs. [/quote]

Drop it! You are crazy for trying to get someone to discuss this on an anonymous forum. if you don’t stop, you are cruel and disgusting. [/quote]
