I have a friend who has a kid in the Summit Program there and it sounds great for high achieving students.

Roosevelt is higher ranked and the kids have higher SAT scores, but both are good offering incredible opportunities for gifted kids. By the way, the company-founder of Google went there along with many doctors, lawyers, scientists, etc. I truly hope that “teacher” doesn’t take that negative attitude with you in the morning when dealing with your students. My DC attended elementary and middle school in Prince George’s county and got accepted into two of the BIG 3 private schools in DC. My DC is not alone! That is some what a reflection of the child, but definitely shows that being from PG is not an automatic negative like the Nancies would have you believe. We have chosen to keep my DC in public schools in Prince George’s County Public Schiols. Good luck in your search!


Yes, the person you are referring to is Sergey Brin. I worked with his mother at NASA's G0ddard Space Flight Center.

One of the benefits that ERHS has that other schools don't have is that ERHS has a good working relationship with GSFC. There are a number of opportunities for students to come and visit and get tours at GSFC. Many of the students at ERHS also enter into summer internships at GSFC. There are not a huge number of events, but there are some very good opportunities for the students with a STEM focus.


I'd limit this to the kids in the Science Tech program really. They do a research project their senior year and some students choose to do internships at different places. GSFC, NIH, the zoo, etc. were all places I knew people working with.

ERHS was pretty great all around - great music, theater, sports, etc. BUT friends that went to other high schools in the county and were high achievers have perfectly good jobs now.
