[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, it depends on what you mean by “mediocre”. If your DC’s preference is any one of these: SFS GDS STA NCS Holton SAAS Potomac Madeira Episcopal Maret Landon WIS G’town Prep Bullis Stone Ridge SSSAS Flint Hill SAES Gonzaga Visi Good Counsel SJC Then none of them is truly mediocre. Do some have more average students than others, yes, of course. But they are all really good schools. There are others that I’m not thinking of that are also probably in that category, I’m just less familiar with them. [/quote] Bishop Ireton?[/quote] OP described the school as warm. Probably not BI. That said, all of these, and BI, are perfectly fine schools that will have your kid well prepared. The way top schools are now treating admissions, graduating from any private or even a well off public is no advantage. Privates can offer the advantage of great college counseling at no (additional) cost. [/quote]
