This is by far one of the most disturbing and toxic threads I’ve seen on DCUM. And as we all know, there have been a fair share of toxic and disturbing threads over the years.
The opinions, assumptions and generalizations about high school girls say more about the people posting than about the girls and their families.
It is my understanding that parents send their children to private schools to support their academic success, their intellectual growth and their social-emotional development. We all do our best for our kids. Some of us have bigger budgets to work with.
If you are considering a private school for your child, visit the school and get real information. Then take time to meet some of actual students and parents IN PERSON. Let your child shadow a student for at least a day.
For the people spewing crap about teenagers and their families on here - take a look at yourselves and be a better example for your own kids.

Some girls (and we are talking about children here) come into their own in high school, some in grad school. Some want intense high schools, some don’t. Some want schools in Potomac, some in DC.
All of these children will be successful!

And thinking they will have wildly different life trajectory’s is laughable. Just because an 8th grader doesn’t choose a “top” LOCAL high school, does not mean they will not amount to anything.

The “big 3” are NOT the same as St Paul’s, Exeter, Groton, Eton, Hotchkiss, Andover, and St George’s

You must not know much about elite boarding schools. St. George's does not belong anywhere near the HADES schools.

This thread is drenched in misogyny and gross. And in no way reflects the truth about any of the schools mentioned here.

For us, we want our daughter to be academically challenged of course but most importantly want her to be happy and confident ☺️

Hope she’s cute!

How does Holy Cross compare? I get a different vibe from them.

Snobby about what? Attending a 4th tier school with mediocre college admissions results?

There admissions are pretty good actually:

https://www.instagram.com/p/CtACZ0FMJPN/

You and I must have a different definition of “pretty good.” The highest ranked schools I saw were the University of Michigan, UVA and Georgetown (about 1 admit per school). I didn’t see a single Ivy, or even a top 20 university.

That’s pretty mediocre in my world.

I'd be more than happy if my kid got into one of those schools. Well, at least they are better looking than you.

Lol—you sound silly. I graduated from one of the aforementioned schools.

Of course, UofM, UVA, and Georgetown are great universities. However, at least a handful of Holy Child’s students should be heading to higher ranked universities on an annual basis—if you’re going to be snobby.

There are other things to be snobby about...namely your good looks and family wealth. These girls don't need to go to top schools to be successful. That's for the strivers of the world.

So what happens when a Holy Child student crosses paths with her superior? That would be an equally good looking and wealthy Sidwell, GDS, NCS, Holton (1st tier), Stoneridge, Visitation, Maret (2nd tier), or Bullis (3rd tier) student?

Answer: She should drop the pretense or risk getting her feelings hurt.

Their life trajectories are going to be entirely different. My NCS daughter and friends will end up being Big law associates and medical residents. They'll work really hard and some will end up being very successful and wealthy. The Holy Child girls will end up marrying commercial real estate or finance guys and end up being very wealthy. There is very little cross over between the two worlds (a tiny handful of NCS girls who are in this Holy Child world and of course they are the popular NCS girls). There are some STA or Sidwell boys who want the NCS girl but many (most?) want the HC girl. Can you blame them?--they are beautiful, fun, etc. For what it's worth, I have the intellectual NCS type so I am not glorifying this phenomenon, just reporting on it.

Sorry to hear about your NCS daughter’s plight. My beautiful AND brilliant daughter attends one of the Tier 1 schools listed above, and she has no shortage of male attention and dates.

I would feel bad for any Holy Child student who tried to act snobby around her—lol.

But is she rich? You must be beautiful and wealthy enough to be happy and fun loving all of the time. Holy Crows prides itself on its students having a “fun”
High school experience. So they have beautiful, fun-filled, happy girls.

There are girls you “date,” and there are girls you marry. You make HC girls sound like the former.

This proves my theory that mean girls never really grow up. I bet no men are commenting on this thread.

Whoever is painting the HC girls as vapid but wealthy blondes is NOT doing the school any favors, and their posts drip with misogyny.

Two of my neighbors have daughters there, and both of them are very kind girls. I don’t know anything else about the school, but at least a few of the girls aren’t snobby.

My daughter will be a freshman at HC this year / she got into “better schools” that you all are mentioning but really loved the vibe at HC. Because they are so small they can really cater to the students and the girls seemed very happy to her. The teachers also seemed to her to be very invested and she remarked on the connections they had with the students.

This thread is so disturbing. I kind of thought holy child was this way - priming girls to marry Brett Kavanaugh types - but this just confirms it. How sad.

Yes, we’re rich too. Full pay at a Big 3 (we have family wealth, but we don’t need help paying our children’s tuition).

My daughter is happy and has a great personality, but she’s not “fun loving all the time.” She’s studious and serious when the time calls—that’s why she attends a Big 3.

Trust me, you don’t have to be an empty-headed “good time girl” to attract male attention. Based on my daughter’s many suitors, beauty, brains (and wealth according to you) are certainly enough. And honestly, my daughter isn’t super nice to these boys. Not mean, just not willing to bend over backwards for them. She told me if one acts up, there’s always another one ready to take his place.

Omg this sounds so made up! 😂. Surrrrre your brainy four eyed NCS genius has wealthy good looking private school boys at her beck and call.

You need to go back and reread the posts. My daughter does NOT attend NCS (that’s another poster). She attends a coed Big 3. We’re also full pay. And she doesn’t just have private school boys after her—the public school boys are interested as well.

I don’t care if you believe me. I’m not here to convince you or anyone else.

Yet you still replies. Yawn.

Yet you’re still replying to my replies [shrug].

OP here is your answer. More concerned about good looks and family wealth than achievement.

Oh good. Someone will marry her then. She has brains and money. Two outta three ain’t bad!

3/3: Brains, money AND beauty.
My daughters understand hypergamy already. Like attracts like, and I have no doubt that they will marry well (and graduate from great schools). How do you think they were born into wealth (and brains and beauty)?

If only you were as well situated as my daughters. Oh well.
