[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op here. Thank you for these responses.  To answer some questions, we are looking for schools that have a large enough cohort of kids at and above grade level that there are classes and programs geared towards them (our local middle school has almost no kids at or above grade level) .  If this criterion is met, we are ok with high farms.  I hadn't thought about school within school issues. Sounds like sligo and ssims might be better than eastern. Was surprised to hear favoring ssims over eastern given that the latter feeds into Blair and the former into Northwood and Blair is generally considered to be better. [/quote]

I think there are parts of the SSIMS zone that do feed into Blair, for what its worth. Maybe everything zoned for Rolling Terrace?

Any of those schools will have a cohort of high achievers and what I've found is that the "advanced" kids end up de facto having schedules that bring them together a lot because they are all in the same math class, and the same humanities class, and they tend to cluster around the same electives, which means there are only so many ways the schedule can break out.

Yes, and there are also some areas in downtown Silver Spring south of Thayer and west of Georgia which are zoned for SSIMS and Blair.
