[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Eastern can be tougher for avg kids not Academically driven. There are already clicks roaming the halls with no intention of graduating. If you kids can avoid them and be ignored by them they will do great. If they get involved there is risk. All schools have kids like that, eastern has more than most. Mom of two middle class kids who got two different results there. My one boy is having a lot of problems in HS with the crowd he met at eastern. He was never going to be a good student, but is dabbling in things that have long ranging damage as a 10th grader. Daughter is in a great college assuming it opens back up in the fall [/quote]

This is really the story of MCPS. All of the schools have the resources to support great students. The curriculum is the same and the teachers are more or less good and bad at all places. It really comes down to the peer group and that sets how far a poor performer can fall.  Some D student at Churchill is just going to end up working at his fathers company when he drinks him self out of college. Places like Eastern, kids can find no bottom to the trouble they can find if they go looking for it. The percentage of kids at eastern middle who will not end up graduating high school is pretty high considering, if they aren't doing school work, they are doing something else. Better hope it doesn't interest your kids  [/quote]
