[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Science Focus is more of a neighborhood school these days and less of a team school option, a victim of its own popularity. So I'd put it in the same league as the other highest performing N Arlington neighborhood schools. What's unique is that Science Focus is more diverse than Taylor, McKinley, Nottingham, etc.[/quote]

Science Focus is phenomenal.  [b]The Secretary of Education's kids attend.[/b]  You can't go wrong with any of the N.Arlington elementary schools.  Some have better name recognition, but they are all stellar.[/quote]

but is he gifted???  :D [/quote]

The point was---I read an interview he gave where he described looking at all of their school options before moving down here and this was the school they settled on.  This guy has a wealth of information on education and [b]could have sent his kids anywhere privately[/b] or publicly in the Washington DC Metro area and he chose this school.  FWIW, I chose it before I knew that he was even at the school and it wouldn't have changed my own perception as a Scientist myself.[/quote]

not true. no way he went private.[/quote]

we have had presidents that sent their kids public and presidents that sent them private....Amy Carter was a product of DC public school.

Bill Moore sends his kids to private schools.  He was criticized for doing so as liberal as he is...and he said 'my own kid will not be a social experiment".

If an equivalent school were not available, don't fool yourself that he wouldn't have gone private.  Furhter, he could have sent them to any DC, Ffx or Mont co school....[/quote]
