Ah, the BIM-bots have arrived.

BIM.

Mostly all overrated.

Same kid would probably do fine anywhere, even better outside the rat race metros like DC.

I completely agree! Schools change, administration changes

Seriously though, the kids and parents who obsess about this are generally the ones everyone else stays away from.

Or, wherever you attended (although I think my kid's school is better than mine).

Heck no, I hated my Big 3 experience! 😂

I acknowledge it’s a great school for some kids. Not for me, and not for my kid.

OP here. School's personalities can change drastically by the time our kids are ready. A dear family friend is an alumnus of a top local school, but he and his wife — also DC native who went to another top area private — sent their kids to another school entirely. They felt the culture of his alma mater had changed over the decades and weren't thrilled with what those changes looked like.

And this is why I haven’t so much as opened the “top 15” thread since it hit two pages. 😂
