[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Are you KIDDING?

Field is total chaos with kids who don't listen
St. Andrews is amazing with every kind of learner
Sandy Spring great
Sheridan school great
Siena School great
Bullis--spoiled kids, entitled, terrible teachers until you get to the high school
Holton is the least nurturing place you could every go with the exception of NCS
GDS MS is insane, US great
Stone Ridge work too intense for someone with severe ADD ADHD in upper school, but fine for mild ADD/ADHD
Holy Child supportive
Burke is for kids who are totally unsuccessful somewhere else from what I understand.[/quote]

I only have personal experience with Bullis.  While there are definitely some stereotypical entitled kids there, there are also many who are not.  The lower school teachers from our experience have been absolutely fantastic and it is an incredibly nurturing environment.  Our son has executive functioning ADD and they have been doing everything that was recommended on his evaluation.  They even have emotional learning classes for all of the lower school kids.  The high school is a different beast, but I have said before on here, if you child starts at Bullis before then, it's a much different experience than starting in high school. We are very happy there, but I understand how it's not for everyone.

I know a few kids, including my sister, who went to Holton.  It's not very nurturing at all, but definitely a good school.

I have heard nothing but positive things come out of St. Andrews and every one I knew who went there loved it![/quote]
