[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Really agree with the PP.  Bullis is a long commute.  Nightmare traffic.

Also, honestly, Bullis priced as a tier 1 school, but it is not thought of that way around DC.  I say this even though my son would love to go there (We live near the school).

Bullis is not viewed as a tier 1 school only by the DC snobs who think the world resolves around DC and the inner burbs (ie, mostly lawyers, lobbyists, journalists, etc).  There is a big world out there that these types completely miss.[/quote]

I'm sure it's a good place to go, but the poster who has said it is not viewed as Tier 1 is accurate.  This may be undervaluing Bullis' merits, but it is an accurate statement of [i]the reputation[/i].  The few objective indicators such as National Merit Semi-finalists also show a big difference between Bullis and DC schools like STA/NCS; Sidwell; and GDS in terms of the academic strength of the cohort (not surprising, given that the MoCo high schools are so much stronger than the DC high school, giving the DC independent schools an advantage in recruiting strong students).[/quote]
