[quote=Anonymous]We just house hunted there (but ultimately chose Pimmit hills). Looks like a few of the elementary schools are good like Douglas Macarthur, but the real problem is that the middle school and high school are pretty bad. In fact, I believe that TC Williams is the worst in the whole state. Another problem is that ACPS is now busing students from their zoned school to other schools due to overpopulation, particularly at the good schools. So you might want to check the charts online (I forgot where they are) to see if the E.S. in your neighborhood has more students enrolled than the max. This chart I saw even shows how many extra kids (to be bused) there were in each grade. You could also just search DCUMs for discussion about that issue too. I will probably incite several parents to chime in now about how average and above average students nevertheless are able to excel at the high school, but I am just telling you the facts. [/quote]
