[quote=Anonymous]I grew up in NW DC and went to Lafayette. Some of my peers went off to Deal/Wilson and others went to independents, entering any time between 4th and 9th grade. I have never once heard the term "Big Three" in any context besides this forum (then again, does anyone say "JKLM" in real life? I was aware that all of those schools were strong with a good community, though). Sidwell, NCS, and STA were all known as great prep schools that the Clintons and Gores sent their kids to, and were known as college prep, highly competitive, and just all around strong schools. Maret and GDS were also considered very competitive, rigorous schools, although perhaps they had slightly less clout because it wasn't the choice of recent presidents/vice presidents for their kids.[/quote]
