[quote=Anonymous]I grew up in Silver Spring but went to a competitive private high school with a great deal of wealth. At the time, I didn’t mind the pressure over academics and extracurriculars. Nor did I mind coming from a neighborhood outside the wealthiest bubble. My husband and I ended up meeting and settling in the Midwest where we both attended law school. Our daughters attend their zoned public school in a small district. The school is fairly diverse and has a wonderful community of dedicated parents. Our oldest was accepted into the district gifted program based in her Cogat score, but the district discourages test “prep.” I’ve found the school and community to provide a great balance and don’t miss the DC area intensity.[/quote]
