[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Here’s where this thread will go: people will ask what you plan to do for HS—that if you plan to do private, it doesn’t matter, but that BCC and Whitman are a million times better than Wilson.

I’m a Wilson parent uninterested in that debate, just saying that that’s where this conversation will inevitably go since there’s no difference at the ES level (except DC has universal pre-K) and minimal difference at the MS level (except that Deal is pretty overcrowded—but maybe Pyle is too?).

DP. I appreciate this synopsis, and can also attest to OP that this assessment is pretty much correct.[/quote]

Is BCC really a million times better than Wilson? What about the atmosphere/culture/diversity between the two? Genuine questions as we also consider whether trying to stay in the city or move to MoCo. Also considering the actual differences between a BCC type school and Blair or Einstein, though that’s not a discussion for this forum. [/quote]

I’m the “here’s where this thread will go” poster, and obviously I don’t think BCC is a million times better than Wilson. Or better at all! But that debate has been had so many times on here in exactly the same contours that I don’t think it’s profitable to re-engage on it. Look at the data on each (not just test scores—demographics, course offerings, extracurriculars, etc.), talk with parents in real life (not on an anonymous board), and think about what you and your family want/need (not just in terms of schooling but commute and neighborhood etc.).[/quote]
