[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The SR girl is delusional in her description of her own school in comparison to the girls schools on her list that are far more rigorous academically and far more competitive for admission.  Hysterical that she calls SR girls "extremely smart" but glosses over the academic superiority of NCS, Holton, and Visi (in order of excellence).  Her perception of her own school and fellow SR students is, not unpredictably, very different than others views on SR and SR girls.  [/quote]
New poster with no dog in the fight - no interest in girls' schools or religious schools.

PP, I think you're unfair and inaccurate in your slam of the SR poster. She clearly identified girls from all those other schools as very smart, and did not suggest SR is academically superior to them. I think your bias might be coloring your interpretation of the SR girl's comments. [/quote]

First, I think you need to re-read the original post.  She only called SR girls "extremely" smart, by far the highest superlative in her commentary.

Second, I am ot an alum of any of these schools, or any Washington school and I do not have a daughter in any of them.  I do however have a young daughter and I have done extensive research on the area's girls schools: secular, Episcopalain, and Catholic; with an eye to applying her when she is older.  I have also spoken to several [b]private school experts [/b]with deep knowledge of the areas schools.  SR is abslutely not in the same league with NCS, Holton or Visitation.  It is not comparable.  I recognize that many families love SR.  That is fabntatstic and it certainly is a fine school and meets the needs of many girls.  SR is not however an academically or competitively top tier school in the Washington metro area.  The other three are.[/quote]

You have no clue how the process at Catholic high schools work. It just does not work the way you describe and when you get to that stage you will be very surprised but I suspect you will not choose a Catholic School.[/quote]
