There are diverse schools mid-county that have less of these issues.[/quote]

Are kids being beaten up in school everyday just because they walk side by side another kids in the school?  Aren't drugs available in all schools?  What is being stolen?  [/quote]

Come on.  My kids go to a middle school with a tough reputation but I've come to realize the reputation is really just based on race.  It's ridiculous.  These schools are safe and my kids are getting a good solid education.[/quote]

OP here...and that's exactly what I was wondering.  I grew up here and went to RM.  My brother went to Wheaton, DH to Northwood and Kennedy after NW closed.  Both of our HS BFF were at Einstein.  We have a little insight into the DCC but it was 20 years ago.  It sounds like not much has changed.  Those schools always had a reputation compared to Whitman and Churchill.  But it never impacted any of us.  None of us got in fights, we weren't in gangs.  I'm sure we could have bought drugs if we looked for them but we didn't.  None of us were ever mugged at school or had our cars broken into.  We all graduated with the same education as the "better schools".  I ended up going Ivy.  DH became very successful without college.  My BFF is now BigLaw partner and his BFF owns his own company.  My brother moved away from the rat race and is living the good life being very happy with what he has and not wanting for any more.  All in all, the 5 of us, from what is now the DCC have ended up doing very well for ourselves.  I have a special place in my heart for our HS and I don't like reading about them being so inferior on DCUM.[/quote]
