[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just a quick question.  I've always heard that DC schools are terrible; even worse than PG schools.  Is this for a charter or something?  I just can't see going from PG to DC, but it happens, so I'm apparently missing something.[/quote]

Not all DC schools are terrible.  Maybe all PG schools are, but definitely not all DC schools are.

This begs the question though, what school does the OP's friend's child attend?  If it's Latin or Wilson or Walls that's a problem - those are all competitive schools, and DC taxpayers shouldn't be supporting a PG county cheater.  Otoh, if it's Ballou or Eastern or Roosevelt, I don't think anybody really cares.[/quote]

And you are misinformed.  Just as not all DC schools are poor, not all PG county schools are poor.  There are a number of good and high performing schools in the county.  The problem is that they are the exception, not the rule.  There are several schools in northern PG county that are comfortably above the state average for test schools and get excellent reviews from students and parents in the region.  The only reason some of these schools are considered undesirable is because of the minority-white demographics.[/quote]
