Boys and girls can be equally mean for the record.

We have friends at a variety of private schools in the DC, MD, VA area. The most common theme I hear from friends at all of these schools including ours is that the schools that have a very high percentage of parents that belong to either Chevy or Congo tend to also have a very distinct culture of mean kid/mean parent behavior. Yes, mean parents tend to have mean kids and for whatever reason those families and parents tend to cluster together in a very unhealthy way.


Agree. The 8th grade class at SR has a large number of girls whose families belong to Congo or Chevy. It seems the girls have learned their elitist/exclusive behavior from their moms.

Hard-pressed to find a mean girl at Madeira? There are mean girls at Madeira, just not as many as at some schools. Someone is obviously drinking the Madeira Kool-Aid and also smoking something while she drinks.


I dunno, PP. My daughter, who is quite sensitive and has definitely seen mean girl behaviors at her K-8, says that she has absolutely not met any mean girls at Madeira. She is rather in awe of that, actually.


From what I understand, there are some students who can be kinda annoying or snotty, but I haven't heard about any "mean girl" behavior. If it does happen it's not super common.

Answer is simple- the schools with the most mean moms. Kids learn from their parents and their values or lack there of. Schools with large clusters of CCC and Congo moms tend to have issues.

I think Mean girls are one thing but beware of Mean moms who make sure the mean girl behavior is multiplied by a 1000. Having said that it is very grade dependent

Many of the Chevy and CCC families that span across a few single sex schools…. fit this description - among both the parents and kids. Brutal relational bullying.

Not many - I would say it has less than many other schools in our experience.

There are a few in each grade and they and their parents pretty much fit the exact same description that you hear about at other schools - same type. In fact the parents and families (boys too!) are usually friends with the same types of parents/families involved with poor behavior at the other schools.

Obvious answer is: mean girls are at the schools that have the MOST mean moms. Apples do not fall far from the tree.


So Potomac!
