[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]AP courses are super easy at Bullis. Everyone gets in them. I think they have gamed the system. [b]They want to be like GDS, Sidwell[/b], etc. so they give out A’s and AP courses so that kids get into top colleges. I feel really bad for the teachers who have to deal with these average kids. But, feel worse for the kids who will struggle in these colleges. Bring back testing. That will make things right. My kid is a senior at Bullis and got into their ED school so I’m not bitter but just telling the truth. I honestly don’t think my kid would have gotten in without being at Bullis. No test scores submitted. [/quote]

I really don’t think they do. That’s the whole point of this post. Bullis has surpassed Sidwell at least from a college matriculation perspective.[/quote]

Bullis hasn’t surpassed Sidwell in anything (unless it’s something negative).  The PR piece the Bulllis administration released is a list of college acceptances for a small number of Bullis students.  [/quote]

Not true.  Look at the matriculations.  Even more importantly, the TRANSPARENCY.  Bullis has surpassed Sidwell with its transparency at the very least.[/quote]

I think all the Bullis parents who want to be in an arms race with Sidwell (stupidest posts ever) tell you everything you need to know about the culture/parent body at Bullis. The insecurity and weird angling for respect is a huge red flag for those who are looking for the best school fit for our children. This whole thread speaks volumes about where Bullis is after having an uptick in MCPS admissions. You are embarrassing yourselves, Bullis parents, and not reflecting well on your school. [/quote]
