[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have a quirky 10 year old DD and exploring schools to apply to for either 5th or 6th.

I am going to open houses and also talking to friends with kids at target schools. My friends suggest that some schools have a reputation for being better for quirky girls. Is this really a thing? Like some school are better for athletic kids, or kids who are artistic, or whatever? Don’t most of these schools have a mix of kids?

I guess I am wondering if there really is a different (in terms of personality or interests) pool of kids who go to Sidwell vs. GDS vs. Holton? (Just examples)

FWIW, when I say quirky, to me it means my DD has strong interests in some fairly narrow areas - for example, she loves history, her sport is a martial art, and she sews and reads for fun. She also plays video games, etc., - are there really schools which are a better fit for “girls like her”? [/quote]

When a car is buried in snow, one walks. One sidewalk is too icy, and one walks slowly. One can take the bus and the metro. One will make it to place to place during the day. Most of the DMV is NOT life-threatening. It all depends on the mentality. Do you want to go to work? Do you want to go to school? [/quote]
