[quote=Anonymous]Yes, you can trust GreatSchools insofar as you can trust it anywhere else, and given that it mainly measures SES of the kids in the school rather than the quality of teaching. The one thing to keep in mind, though, is that GS is ranking schools against other schools in the same state (in this case, DC). So, at the tippity top neighborhoods like the ones where you are looking, that doesn't matter much. The kids are performing just as well as they would in any other rich, predominantly white, neighborhood. But once you get down into DC schools that are ranked a little lower, it might be worth comparing a mid-ranked DC school to a low-ranked VA or MD school. You will find kids perform about the same.
