[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My neighbors kids and my niece went to Sligo and loved it and excelled.  All did well in high school too and have been accepted to good colleges - niece has been accepted to Stanford and a couple of Ivies.  Oldest nieghbors kid is at William & Mary. My point being that the school may not be the best in the county, but if parents and kids are vigilant they will be totally fine. If your kid isn't as strong academically, it may be more of an issue.[/quote]

17:29 here, adding that this is consistent with my neighbors' experiences in terms of it working out fine.  My impression is that Sligo is a weak MS, but that kids do fine there and succeed.  And I would add that MS in general is a tough time of life and school experience.

RE Blair ("does everyone choose Blair?"), as I mentioned, my son is there at the CAP and we like it, but I don't think Blair is *the* DCC HS by any means.  I think Einstein is just as good and in some ways better in terms of size and feel.  Blair is huge (HUGE) and that is a challenge for many kids.  Do not assume that it is better than other DCC high schools, because it just isn't, at least not IMO.
