[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How come NCS or STA haven't been mentioned?  [/quote]

Whether it's deserved or not, NCS has a reputation of having a culture of mean girls.[/quote]

Well, there are 2-3 posters who post almost continuously trying to give it this reputation. The sheer obsession and the fact that at least obe of them attended 20 years ago tends to undermine their message, however. It's hard to know where the truth is.[/quote]

Oh my, you are so wrong, it's a generally held view of everyone I know . . . hundreds of people.  And yes I've been there and no way would I send my DD there.  My friends are all in agreement.  One tried - for a year. Nasty[/quote]

Hundreds of people?  Funny.  I have friends whose dds go there, and only a few of them have mentioned any kind of drama at all.  They seem to think their dds are getting a great education.

But then, I haven't asked "hundreds" of people, much less everyone I know, to weigh in on the question.  [b]It is beyond crazy that you have.[/quote][/b]

Not when you've lived here all your life and are close to 60.  Seen parents go through the Beavoir madness only to be rejected.  Or get in to Beavoir and do all the parental duty stuff but then, surprise!, not get into St.Albans or NCA.  I've put three kids through private pre-school, private k-8 and seen many try to leave to St. A or NCA, or know people who have worked in the summer admissions office and have told stories, run auctions at privates. Been in parochial schools and finally public.  Have personally witnessed the type of girl NCA takes (no thank you).  Done the college application process.  Toured NCA twice.  Knew St. Albans and NCS grads at top law school.  Knew the partners at my firm whose kids went there and told stories.  Warned by pediatrician whose daughter attended to avoid due to nasty girls.  Was not impressed by the girls on tour: "diversity diversity diversity!"  Snobbish mothers.  Competing parents.  I've heard it all.  To say there are "just 2-3" posters is absurd.  The school is vicious.   And, no, i have no horse in the race.  Never applied.  Never rejected.  Just am not impressed and would never put my daughter in such a "mean girls" environment.  You do know the author of "Prep" was "housed" at St. Albans while she wrote that piece of junk?  "cheese" or "fish".  Lovely.  Oh yes, then there is the girl on my street whose mom drove her an hour every day so she could attend.  Lovely family.  They lasted a year.  Vicious, competitive girls.[/quote]
