[quote=Anonymous]OK, the Kent Gardens haters are truly and honestly school snobs. I'm not going to join the 'all FCPS schools are wonderful' bandwagon, though. Some have more at-risk and ESOL kids than others, and you run the risk at these schools of getting ignored in the shuffle by an administration that can't pay attention to kids who're not otherwise at risk. Of course at the fabulously wealthy schools you run the high risk of meeting a pack of alpha moms (*), and that is *so* dependent on the luck of what moms are in your DC's grade. A school that was great five years ago might be worse now with a new and incompetent administrator/tion, a pack of alpha moms taking over the PTA, etc. (*) I imagine it might be theoretically possible for an alpha mom to show up at a school that's heavily minority and/or poor, and be able to more easily run the PTA as her own personal fiefdom.
