[quote=Anonymous]DCPS has Wilson and SWW and maybe one charter if you want to count Latin (no real longterm data) as truly stellar high schools. To act as if DCPS high school students are far outstripping PG high school students is ludicrous.

OP the truth is that good students from engaged families will do well in most PG County HS Programs. I know Doctors, Lawyers, IT people, Engineers etc from many different PG county High Schools.

I don't recommend sending your child to Friendly or Central, but you're child is going to be fine at many of the other schools. There are bad students in these schools but students who are excelling and in advanced programs are not going to have the experience that the general population students do. ERHS is of course the standout because they've had the Science/Tech Program the longest.

Do your research and find a school that works for your child. Don't focus in on PP's doom and gloom approach. There are options in PG county that will serve your family and if you don't want to do public, you're still going to be better off living in PG county and paying for private than moving to DC and paying an astronomical amount for a guaranteed successful HS (you'll need to move into the JKLMM area). If you don't move to that area in DC you're going to have to try the lottery system and still pay more for housing.

Good luck in your search for a school that will work![/quote]
