[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] Another thing I would share, coming from MCPS, is the families seem less nakedly ambitious. Not that they don’t have lawyer parents, but [b]I do believe people are most concerned with the well being of the community - social-emotional wellness, learning how to cope with life, how to help others, all in a rigorous environment.[/b] The environment is also quite diverse socioeconomically, with some parents each working more than one job to pay tuition. There is not the “this test will determine my fate” fear that pervaded MCPS from early elementary on. [/quote] This neatly sums up why our public school DC is going to attend a Catholic high school. We are Catholic. [/quote]
