There have been several murders (not gang-related) in Bethesda and Potomac. So I've decided that it's too dangerous to take my kids there.

Those murders involve 1 murderer at a time. The gang crimes involve 10-15 people at a time.

Yeah but it’s not like they kill you 15 times. You only have one life to lose. But you may have a point that murderers in Bethesda are more efficient than Wheaton murderers. I’m sure it’s the superior classroom environment that enables Bethesda murderers to do the work of 15 Wheaton murderers.

Surprise surprise, who would have guessed something like this would happen in the DCC? Wait 16 pages of people save for the people foolish enough to buy in the DCC who pretend that it isn’t an issue and call everybody else racist. Your kids are hanging out with them no matter if he just happened to be arrested that day

I meant a person has a better chance of surviving one attacker vs 15. Those 15 gang members hang out in other large groups committing various crimes. I'm starting to susoect you benefit in sone way from gang activity.

BS there has always been problems due to the quantity of poverty. Only differenc is it has shifted from black gangs in the 90s to Latino gangs now. The other noticeable shift has been the deconcentration of the areas accessible to the poverty and how that affects the former middle class areas. progressive policy and the Urbanization trends has shifted desirability away from the suburbs leaving a vacuum being filled with this. I wouldn’t want to own a house along university blvd

Nope, my high-achieving IB kid at Einstein is not hanging out with some girl's 24-year-old ex-boyfriend. There are 1800 kids at Einstein. If you'll read closely you'll see this man is not one of them. Take your sarcastic digs at my school elsewhere. Should we all be concluding that WJ and Whitman are dangerous because kids there died by suicide, or Wootton is dangerous because kids got into a drunk driving crash? No, that would be unfair. Because it's unfair to pass judgment on a whole school, a whole town, or yes, a whole race based on what you see on the news.

Yah there is no gang problem at Einstein, not one of 900 (50%) poor Latinos at the school are involved in anyway. How silly of us to make that leap, GL pp

Does anyone think the kid dating the MS13 gang member wasn't a member too?

I have no idea if there is a gang problem because my child is completely unaffected and succeeding. And get your facts straight: it's technically 28% low income Latino. You cited the 50% statistic for overall percentage of Latinos because you assume they're all poor. Classy.

Your reading comprehension is very Albert Einstein-ish, that is 28.8% of the school is on FARMs while Latino. Not 28.8% of the Latinos are on FARMs. So to help you a little bit with math, if there are 1748 kids at Einstein that means 867 of them are latino and 503 of them are very poor which is close to 60%. While that isn’t 100%, I would wager a bet the other 40% are still pretty poor consider most kids at Einstein come from working class to middle at best.

Not Exactly the peer group most people aspire for their kids but better than say Kennedy

I get it, you don't want your children to study at Einstein. But that doesn't mean their aren't plenty of wonderful kids there. There are also plenty of houses for sale in the school zone that you would have to be solidly middle class to afford. And there are plenty of families with kids there who are thriving, engaged and happy. Don't move there. But why drag down others who are happy there? I see a lot of posts in this forum from people who seem to want to knock down and disparage DCC. They just can't believe people could possibly have happy, fulfilling lives there.
