If you are looking for a decidedly better school, with smarter kids and has a number of high level D-1 athletes, try STA.

Not everyone can go to STA nor wants to so please leave the people who like Landon alone.

Is that what you tell yourself to feel better.

Not a Landon parent but will say that the Landon boys I have seen at various events have always seemed lovely, well-spoken, polite, and very well-mannered. I can't say that for all the boys I have seen/interacted with from other schools. So for what that's worth...

The lower school carpool line is a free for all. We absolutely love Landon and the energy there but that carpool line can get wild. 😂

Been a Landon parent for 6 years and it has been amazing for our boys. I haven’t read all comments (just those on this page) and so sorry if this has been covered but a hidden gem at the school is its music department- strings, specifically. Yes, the school boys are super sporty and my boys are so I don’t know what it would be like to not be. The arts are an important part of the curriculum and my boys are getting a lovely, well-rounded education as a result.
To the comment about badly behaved parents at sporting events, it would be crazy to say that those poorly behaved parents do not exist, especially at a school somewhat known for sports. Also, though, and most importantly, in my 6 year // many hours of sideline experience, poorly behaved parents are an aberration that prove the rule. The norm is refreshing and healthy. PP, I am sorry you had a bad experience and I hope we meet on the sidelines one day!

Is this like, “if you can’t see the mean girl group, you are the mean girl group”?

Yeah sure. Whatever makes you feel validated.

My son has made friends with kids who are artsy and kids who are very athletic and everything in between. Nothing but good things to say.

Yes, this has been exactly our experience too. It has definitely been worth it for our family.
