[quote=Anonymous]I am assuming your children will go to college and excel academically.  That can be done at any school in MoCo.  If it's a certain student body you are interested in, that's another story.

Show your husband the college acceptance rates relative to the applications for the W's , B-CC etc. Each school's career center uses a program called Naviance that shows you these numbers.  You can sign in as a guest for any school and see these stats.  He might be very surprised by the acceptance rates for the Ivy League schools and other competitive institutions.  It might also surprise him that a large percentage of W's/B-CC grads apply and are accepted to UMD at College Park, which is attainable at any MoCo school, so long as you have your child on a certain academic track and has good SAT scores (tutoring is almost essential for every student at any school). He will also clearly see that there is a lot less competition in the DCC.

A friend of mine who is an attorney and UVA grad has her son at Einstein.  He's doing great in the IB program.  She didn't buy into the status crap.  What a win for him![/quote]
