[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Eager to avoid Chevy parents en masse since our family's first exposure at a local preschool. It's hard to imagine their presence wouldn't exacerbate relational bullying.

With that in mind, does this sound like a good list for middle/upper?:  GDS, Sheridan, Madeira, WIS, Burke. Welcome any other ideas

It does seem cohort dependent at WIS. I have a lot of friends and neighbors with kids there and recently spent time with a cohort of girls. I was shocked at how cruel they were at such a young age.

GDS for sure is a good bet -- the school works hard to address this specific issue and the families drawn to the school care about inclusiveness and avoiding cliques.

I've heard mixed things about WIS. I think it is cohort dependent. Have some friends with a boy there who is having a tough time but it seems like it might just be the boys in his particular cohort and not necessarily a school wide issue. The population here is obviously more international so I think the culture fluctuates a lot. We know others with kids there who love it.

If the commute is doable for you, I'd take a look at Sandy Spring Friends School. It has a great culture. It is not considered one of the top schools academically but there are plenty of smart kids there. But I know it's not convenient for a lot of families.[/quote][/quote]
