[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So, before you go claiming that certain schools are "the best" and certain schools aren't worth sending your dog to.... you had better be a little more specific.  And you also might want to rethink whether it's the school that is so great or just the high income/education populations that go there (and that fact that those same types of kids go to other "less desireable"  ... i.e. more diverse.... schools too.)

Look beyond Langley, McLean, Madison, Oakton and Woodson.  [/quote]

No one is claiming any schools are "the best" other than the schools listed in a prior post had the highest test scores.  If the OP (or rather her friend) wants to look beyond test scores, she will need to say what criteria she is looking for.  Test scores are usually the easiest, although not necessarily the best, way to rank schools.  I don't see where anyone said certain schools were not worth sending their dog to.  Wherever did you get that from?  Of course a school with high income/education tends to have higher test scores.  But then again, that's no different than Robinson or Lake Braddock having higher test scores than a school like Falls Church either.  So what makes those two schools so "solid?"[/quote]
