[quote=Anonymous]One very nice aspect of the school is that the social grouping don't seem to fit particular stereotypes such as jocks or nerds, the athletic kids may hang out with many non-athletes. There is also a huge percentage of kids that are involve with at least one varsity team (track /X-country being one reason, the program is popular and successful, in the spring something like 100 kids participate, they have won MAC and been at top of ISL for years in both fall and spring). I have noticed that some of the boy athletes particularly from soccer and lacrosse or track do hang out together, less so with the girl athletes. Anyway, there is quite a lot of school spirit in terms of kids showing up for important games (ie anything against Sidwell or Maret) even in sports like volleyball or girls basketball, which is really nice as well, so the athletes do get recognition and positive feedback, but participating doesn't restrict or define them socially.
