[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I grew up in MoCo and always find these threads interesting.  
There isn't as much 'school choice' or options there other than you take the school or go to private (unless you test to got to Blair/magnet).  There isn't the OOB/IB dynamics - that can shift, and the families didn't have experience with elementaries where you offset what you don't like with PTA funding.
Those schools are generally the same size as Wilson 
& are overcrowded (including more than 30 in APs etc) -- the closer in schools have far less "diversity" (lower SES and Black students to be blatant - there are forms of diversity (Asian, both have international & Latino (rapidly growing Latino in Montgomery)).  They have other "pitfalls" - like your kid is so much like all the others that you can't stand out or few do -- ridiculously competitive natures in many ways, and kids can rarely can make any of the school based teams that they offer anyway.  And some of those programs aren't really a bag of chips either.[/quote]

There are two kinds of overcrowding: naturally occurring and manufacturered.  DCPS seems to favor the latter when it comes to Deal and Wilson.  That's what drives W3 parents nuts.  [/quote]
