[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You need to broaden your definition of “unsafe environment” to include exposure to and availability of drugs and alcohol, high academic/social pressure, racism, etc.  If you’re stretching to pay for Bethesda schools and that leads to financial stress, that’s problematic for kids.  We’re at OTES and know lots of kids who have gone through various DCC high schools (mostly Einstein and Blair) - they do fine.  Parental education and involvement are far more predictive of outcome than specific high school.  [/quote]

OP here. 
Maybe you misread my comment? You are describing exactly the "pressure cooker environment" we'd like to avoid. We can afford a house in Bethesda, but it would be an old house that would be smaller than we'd like. Budget is up to $1.1 million. We'd love to stay well under that.

FWIW, we are white but moved here from another country and the kids are bilingual. We'd like enough diversity where we won't be the token Eastern European family. [/quote]
