[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We moved from a Deal/JR feeder DCPS to a Silver Creek/BCC feeder. We are much happier than we were in DCPS. What DCPS are you zoned for? [/quote]

That's not surprising. [/quote]

What’s not surprising about it? Deal/JR are the 2 best non-magnet schools in DCPS.[/quote]

Yes, and they are still about as good as a middle-of-the-road MCPS school.

I'm not sure this will look, but compare the proficiency rates between Jackson-Reed and three schools in Maryland. The first is Blair, probably the closest analogue to J-R in MCPS due to a mix of UMC and poor kids. The second is Albert Einstein, a perfectly lovely school that is often disparaged on this board. The third is B-CC, which OP is considering and which snobs consider the weak link among the Bethesda schools.

All three are substantially higher performing than J-R, without even introducing schools like Wootton and Whitman to the list.
