[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Bullis was the only school in the region that opened at the beginning of Covid, a courageous decision rooted in what was in the best interests of students. All the other schools, including at. Andrew's waited to see how it would be for Bullis. While I'm a bit tired of the head going on about being student centric not adult centric, it does seem genuine.

These comments about wealth are bogus. Bullis is one of the most socio-economically diverse schools in the DMV.

And today is the college deadline day. Let's compare college outcomes for the seniors - and not just this year but for the last three years at the two schools. There's no comparison. Bullis' list is way superior. And before the trolls come out, the scholar athletes are not the only ones going to the elite schools. Bullis even identifies the athletes in its year-by-year college list. Who else does this?[/quote]

Do you mean Bullis was in-person learning the first day of school in Sept. 2020? I know St. Andrew's was virtual the first 6 weeks, then moved to  hybrid with kids/teachers in-person for those comfortable, and those not comfortable would Zoom into the live class.

At any rate, St. Andrew's is a solid school and worth looking at. I would say the same for Bullis. [/quote]

Yes.  My kids were at Bullis at the time (and are still there).  They went back the Tuesday after Labor Day in 2020, as always.  We had weekly testing.  MS/US were hybrid but LS was in person 4.5 days a week (half day Wednesday for extra cleaning and prep time for teachers since they were also offering online instruction in LS for anyone who needed to stay home due to a positive test).

We are very happy at Bullis![/quote]
DC’s k-8 was in person 5 days a week starting from the first day of school as well. I’m sure they weren’t the only one. I mean, good for Bullis, sure, but they were not entirely alone in opening in-person for the start of school in 2020. [/quote]
