[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Personally, I'd go with Einstein. It gets a bad rap here but as far as I've seen the kids there are much less pretentious and it's easier for kids to just relax and be themselves. My DC goes to BCC. He went to a top private for middle school and finds the work at BCC laughably easy. Although he has a friend group and is not struggling socially, he frequently reports that the kids there are "two faced," "snobby," "fake," "champ," and that TONS of kids use the open campus policy to leave and smoke weed.[/quote]

Ding, ding.

If you're rich (HHI of over $500k) I'd go to BCC. Other than that I would not want my child to feel "DCUM poor" and try to overcompensate because of it. WJ is racially mixed and solidly MC to UMC, Einstein is racially mixed and solidly LMC to MC. Class matters a lot more than race around this area, imo, and an upper class black and or mixed-race kid is generally going to be accepted by upper class white kids faster than a lower middle class or working class black / mixed-race / white kid would be accepted by the same group. The reason being that there is little stigma associated with being a classist / elitist. There is no way I am putting my MC child with a bunch of rich kids wearing Canada Goose parkas and $300+ Yeezys.  [/quote]
