[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. Wow, I just really wanted to know if I should send my child to Brent for PreK. If it really is "the" school on the Hill. 
We are not worried about middle schools.

You're asking a fundamentally flawed question which largely explains the broad range of responses.  There is no "the" school, either on the Hill, upper NW, or MoCo.  There are different schools which meet different needs.  For example, if you want top tier test scores, you're looking in the wrong place.  Try Bethesda where there are neighborhoods feeding top statistically performing schools where houses and condos can be had for comparable cost to the Hill.   You want public PS 3 option?  Even in your prefered Hill school district you can get shut out IB (ask Brent, SWS IB families) and only be assured of a spot for K.

The key  differences between many schools can be both subjective and non-quantitative.  Some people prefer a smaller ES (ie Maury or Brent vs. Watkins), some people want a defined path through upper grades.  Some want parochial or private options.  The only answer to your question is that there absolutely is no "the" school on the Hill or anywhere.  Sorry, but if you're hoping for a DCUM anonymous board to resolve that question you're likely to be disappointed[/quote]
