[b]LOL I'm a W parent and no one here looks down on QO, just too far out for DH and I to want to live there. If you don't mind the longer commute to DC then its fine. QO is like a border-line W, the people on here referring badly to non-Ws are talking about Gaithersburg, Watkins Mill, Seneca Valley, Northwest, Wheaton, etc. not QO or Poolesville[/b]. [/quote]

Lol, only in DCUM is Northwest a bad school. I don't know who started this ridiculous rumor on here but here are the facts: GS rated 7 (higher than RM or  Blair), 95% graduation rate, 91% for FARM kids (one of the highest grad rates in the county, if not the highest for both farm and non- farm). Stats are pretty much the same as QO with the exception that QO has more white kids (45% vs 29%) and slighly lower FARM rates at 23% vs 28%. This is honestly a blatant example of how here we consider white = better.  [/quote]

Northwest (bad! gangs!) vs. Quince Orchard (good! school spirit!) is really the proof that on DCUM, the higher the white population, the "better" the school. Really the ONLY meaningful difference between Northwest and Quince Orchard is that Quince Orchard has a higher percentage of white kids.[/quote]

Well no. There have been a lot of incidents at Northwest, and [b]no one choosing Northwest as their first choice for a school(no one wants to live in germantown but its all they can afford).[/b] QO is pretty well-regarded, but not the same level as WJ or Churchill. [/quote]

You are so ignorant it’s actually comical. [/quote]

Yes, Germantown is for the poors!!! I mean, that's where people with only a 600K to 700K (gasp) housing budget can move to.  Obviously those people would've loved to live in the DCC or Wooton clusters but sadly could only afford a house that goes to Northwest. Poor things. Now they're stuck with an 8 GS rated school.If they only had a bit more, they could've been in Silver Spring.[/quote]
