+2 We are strongly considering for our non-sporty boy. We have heard such great things in the last few years about the high school. [/quote]

SSSAS parent here.

It’s a fabulous school. Really, really wonderful. Passionate, intelligent teachers, dedicated administration, kind and welcoming parents. It’s possibly the most organized school in the area (we have friends who didn’t leave the district like we did and send their kids to dc privates, and the organization and communication from St Stephens was clearly heads above others during the height of covid), and the head of school gets much of the credit for this. Obviously there are many good schools in the area, both public and private, but I have to say we could not be more pleased with St Stephens.

There are a handful of parents, especially on DCUM, who trash the school in vague terms. Search this forum and read what they have said. Most of the negative comments make it clear that these parents are anti BLM and so called critical race theory. They are, in other words, nuts, and I have never encountered these complaints IRL. [b]The school administration and faculty lean left[/b], and while there are many Republican families at the school they are by and large “establishment” types and not Trumpy. The few outraged Trumpy types apparently come to DCUM to complain anonymously.[/quote]
way, way left.  so anyone that does not agree with the Marxist theory of BLM is nuts?  You clearly only associate with those who share your opinions, so of course you never encountered complaints.  That doesn't mean they do not exist.  [/quote]

Um, serious question: do you actually think BLM is Marxist?[/quote]
