[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here - thanks, this is helpful. We will take a serious look at BCC. The reality for us is that we can’t afford Westland so it would be Silver Creek-BCC vs Deal-JR. To be honest, Deal seems better - very impressed. But I suspect folks would say prioritize the high school.[/quote]
I would seriously rethink BCC. It has not been as good an environment as it used to be. I have friends who have those in JR and say they like it. I think it depends on the group your kid rolls with (at both!)and I would very much look into speaking with current parents friends of friends etc that have kids at deal and JR. silver creek has a lot of behavior problems. A lot! You also have the option of high school magnet programs in DC if at deal, like walls etc. Six years ago I would have said BCC, not anymore. There are still high achieving students there obviously but the overall atmosphere and feeling of the environment can be really bad there now. Lots of drinking culture issues. Serious issues with lock downs etc. avoid if possible. I would not move to attend.[/quote]
