That would be a reason for expulsion at any school. If they -didn't- expel the student, then that would be a problem. Sheesh.

A teenager brought a gun to school, but it wasn’t dangerous?


Correct. It was locked in his car. We live in Virginia. Honestly, it’s not abnormal here, especially the farther away you are in Fairfax.
Adults have them. I have one. Sometimes I use my car.

It was in his car, but the car was not locked. That is dangerous.

I believe it’s the same tuition as Sidwell Friends.

My favorite is "Flint Hill, the public school you pay for".

Read the DCUM thread “Is anyone else disappointed with Flint Hill?” I remember that one.

It depends.

It’s been a few years, but I’m not convinced it was worth the high tuition. The administration portrayed standards that did not match our family’s experience or expectations.

That said, there are strong teachers in the middle school.

Not a quality education. We pulled our daughter.

Lots of threads on this. My favorite description is “everyone’s second choice.”

Can you share your experience if your child goes to Flint Hill Middle School. Also open to recommendations for private middle schools that also have a high school. Thanks.
