[quote=Anonymous]DP.  Before making any decision, you should know that Whitman has a far superior academic rep.

Whitman is #1 in MCPS rankings, #1 in Maryland rankings, and #104 in National Rankings.

BCC is #5 in MCPS rankings, #8 in Maryland rankings, and #491 in National Rankings.

Notice the % meeting UofM standards to prep for college:

Although Whitman did have a serious incident with it's students this year, those kids were not typical Whitman profile.  They were from the Greentree Group Home in Bethesda.  You can read about it here.

Subtract the group home and BCC is a tougher crowd overall.

Overall, I think the parents advocating Whitman are giving you good advice.  About what the other parent says about "my kid says Whitman has the best drugs" - do you really want to take advice from an anonymous drug using family?

Personally, if I were in your shoes, I would go with Whitman.

Good luck!
