[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wilson has by far the highest test scores. [b]I think a motivated kid can do fine at other schools so long as they aren't distracted by a majority of kids working below grade level.[/b] For example, Eastern has an International Baccalaureate program. A smart and focused kid who will do well anywhere might do well there and would stand out.

But Wilson is certainly the safest bet for having a larger group of kids working at grade level. It's also bigger than the other high schools so there are more electives and extracurriculars offered. There are charters and magnet schools too but you'd need to see how the lottery goes.[/quote]

This thinking is nuts.  Eastern IBD program is essentially hopeless.  Ask any UMC parent on Capitol Hill that's looked into the program.  Eastern's average pass points totals for IB are in the mid 20s on a 24-45 points pass scale.  That's basically a D in IBD terms.  There are any number of suburban IBD programs in the Metro area, in Fairfax, Arlington and Montgomery Country, with pass points totals in the mid to high 30s, sort of an B+ or A- in IBD terms.[/quote]
