[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]PP here again- sorry OP to answer admittance rates for 9th- Not sure.  Not everyone gets in, despite what the haters say.  The old stereotype that Bullis is for badly behaved athletes is really and outdated 1980's trope.
However we are not talking big 3 or big 5 level difficulty to get in.  There are some very smart kids from Potomac or farther up-county whose parents don't want to drive them into the city, who go to Bullis and they truly shine academically.
They are not the majority of the cohort, however.

It should also be said that Bulls has amazing academic support and does really well in teaching smart kids who may have a mild learning challenge.  I have not observed or heard about kids who have any full-on major learning issues 
in my kid's class- I think that was more in the past.  But they are open to motivated intelligent kids who may need some specific supports.  I will say a see a broader range of kids than in my other child's school which is 
more competitive and highly regarded, but I am not sure that is a bad thing.  I think Bullis does a good job of taking all the kids to their maximum potential.

[b]All that said-I'm still worried about the social stuff in HS  :shock:  :shock:  :shock: [/b][/quote]

That's why we left Bullis.  The high school social scene there is pretty much about money and looks.  Even if your kids have those attributes, do you want them growing up to think that's what's important in life?  Ugh.  So glad we left. [/quote]

Social pressures are all among us especially in the DC bubble. As in any school, kids find their friends that have like minded attitudes. I am sure you do not like everyone in your church or synagogue. [/quote]
