[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Per your request, here is the definitive, objective, inarguable, uncontestable, and incontrovertible ranking (in order of most to least rigor):

Madeira
WIS
Potomoc
Maret 
Holton Arms
GDS
Sidwell
[/quote]

Lol.  This must be upper school only. Definitely not our experience in “rigor” in lower school or even most of middle school. [/quote]

This is laughable. Madeira? Yeah, go ride your pony. WIS? Er, not even close. GDS is loosely goosey, maret hung up on social correctness, Potomac is spot on academic, Hilton Arms as well. Sidwell is closer to the top of the list. Where is NCS or St Alban’s ? Or St Anselm’s? [/quote]

Not on the list. Did you learn reading comprehension or context clues at your rigorous private?  The OP said she was looking at schools for her DD. Even if you didn’t read that part, notice that the list includes Madeira and Holton and that the rest of the schools are co-ed. So no St. Albans or Anselms as they are both irrelevant here. You might also notice that, save Sidwell, there are no religious schools on the list (and most see Quaker as distinct from Catholic or Episcopal schools).

Madeira is more than horses. It has a unique program which has been very well suited for our daughter. OP, you should take a look at it. [/quote]
