Okay, OP. What about Visi and Gonzaga. Certainly they are both worth a mention.

Eww.Please don't put Prep in the same class as STA or Landon.

No PP -- people in the private elite h.s. here don't have extra time. It was written by a bitter mom whose kid didn't get in anywhere and is going to some atrocious public h.s. in VA

That's because he/she is in HS

NP here who is also an alum of one of these schools longer ago than I care to admit. I think much of the OP's sterotyping was true when I graduated but is not anymore. It's clear to me that Maret and GDS are FAR stronger schools than when I graduated, and legitimately competitive. I'm guessing by the Potomac description that OP, like me, never interacted with it in high school. But then I went to UVA and met a ton a wonderful, really bright Potomac alums - it is rigorous and warm, and will definitely be on the list of schools I consider when my kids are old enough.

I view it more like this:

GDS/Maret attract far more Dem and liberal families
Jock schools attract far more Republican and conservative

I thought it was written BY a boy. People, wake up and move on-- kids are posting here.

No, I thought it was written by someone with boys -- it started off with STA etc.

initially thought the same but wouldn't be surprised if it was by a NCS alumna. Given Landon's recent lacrosse controversy I don't imagine Holton girls being overly anxious to advertise their connection with the lacrosse team

GDS: Accepts a few Republican applicants as part of its commitment to diversity.

I think it was written by a Holton alumna.

I thought the same thing. I mean, think of all the time she spent stereotyping KIDS. Sick. As though they're all the same.

Love how she used the word, "classy." Such a lowbrow, unsophisticated word. Sums up her entire post.

Sidwell: short kids
Maret: kids with skin conditions
NCS: girls who prefer blue pens
STA: boys who prefer black pens
Potomac: kids who will naturally run counter-clockwise around a field
GDS: kids who wear jeans, except when they don't.

I hope this is helpful. There are, of course, exceptions.

I really feel for HC-they don't deserve this sort of post.

Offensive, written by a conservative at St Albans.
