[quote=Anonymous]I think the 21:55 poster who was worried about being flamed raises a lot of accurate points on the kinds of things that tend to be different in wealth vs. non-wealthy schools. But I know lots of upper middle class, educated families at Flora Singer and they are happy there, as happy as anyone else at a non-W MCPS school. The Focus part need not worry you too much. My kid went to a school just like Flora Singer and it was fine academically, sometimes quite good depending on the teacher, and a great community and atmosphere. I think middle school is where you see more differences in academics and extra-curricular offerings in a way that might start to matter, because many schools have mixed classes rather than separating out kids at different levels. And then high school gets better again, at least academically, because of Honors and AP classes providing differentiation. [/quote]
