Massachusetts Heights

I attended St. Albans daycare, Beauvoir, Lower, Middle and finally left after sophomore year of upper school. What I can say about Cathedral is that it was an extremely cold, cruel, and unfair school. Favoritism was doled out to certain students based on who their parents were or what they donated. For example, I trained all winter for spring crew and performed well, but was the only person who did not make the team bc the coxswain position was given to someone whose sister had done it previously and didn’t even train with us. That kind of stuff. Minority students have an incredibly difficult time at Cathedral as well. Do not let the administration’s marketing fool you. The schools focus is fit everyone in a box, have them excel in every capacity and emotional wellbeing won’t matter. Academics were fairly good but overly competitive. To be perfectly honest, there are better schools in DC with much better cultures. My brothers attended Maret and Sidwell both much better choices. Ultimately I transferred to a boarding school which are notorious for elitism but the environment was so toxic at Cathedral that it felt like such a breath of fresh air.
