Without a doubt SJC.


Not for middle school.

I think Bullis also has fantastic gyms and other facilities.

Best Middle school building is Flint Hill in Oakton hands down. Just opened last year, nicer than college facilities. Athletic facilities is Bullis or Potomac.

Market's facilities are so great they have to steal fields from public school kids.

Depending on the school, if basketball season isn’t cancelled due to covid, you can probably peek in the gym briefly during a basketball game.

But then your kid would have to attend Potomac.

Don’t be misled. Landon and Bullis have good academics. Maybe not as good as STA but your kid could do well there.

Do you only care about athletic facilities? What about theater, art, music facilities?

The best school in DC for academics and facilities is St Albans- by far

For all girls, Holton


Very interesting since Saint Albans and SJC had the same number of 2022 national merit scholar finalists. Hilton had zero.

Saint Albans shares its facilities with the cathedral school.

Agree. The new athletic addition is collegiate level. The gym is top notch, exceptional locker rooms, nutrition lab, whirlpools, 2 weight rooms, 2 basketball courts, classrooms, etc.

Nutrition lab? Do they help athletes with their personal diets?


They have academic courses geared towards nutrition for athletes to fuel your body and general overall nutrition. It’s a dual focus nutrition and strength training for overall wellness. It’s for both students and athletes.

Maret is too small. I’d say Landon or Bullis for a boy
