Bullis is the only school in your list that hasn't been the target of "black eye" threads on DCUM - the "black eye" thread is a badge of honor. They bash because they care.


Thats because Bullis is the public school you pay for. Non competitve admissions. Show up and your kid is in.

Not prestigious.

Silence has been golden for Sidwell, the story seems to have died down.

Agree. This is a hugely successful family with many branches and many individuals who have devoted much time and money to the school. As anyone who knows the family knows there is also a new generation coming through. Far beyond one person.


Gansler family?

Curious - what would you change? [other than giving you the right to shut down discussions that you don't like]
