[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]NP. Simply put, the academics aren't first-rate, not even close, particularly for STEM.  J-R has a cohort of 11th and 12th graders who take BC Calc, multiple physics APs, AP Bio and Chem and score 5s. Duke has none of that.  You can find first-rate music outside school in and around NW. Does your kid play classical music?  Plays at Strathmore for one of the fine MD Classic Youth Orchestra ensembles?  My DCPS kids do.  Those ensembles are head and shoulders above music at Duke.[/quote]

Duke has a bunch of AP and kids get 5’s for them. Well my kids does. Classes are small and kids are nice and serious about their chosen art stream, no jocks. If your kid is serious about his instrument  he will be happy there with other like minded kids, assuming he likes his main instrument teacher- it is a long relationship.

The admin of school needs to get it act together in a major way. The academics are a mixed bag, some teachers are excellent,  and my impression is that management is bad at recruiting top talent. [/quote]
