[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]All of these schools have a different vibe. Agree Whitman is tricky because it can be very high pressure. BCC and Walter Johnson are the same, but maybe a degree lower. Your family will fit right in a an UMC white family.

Blair is the largest school in the state and there are sharp divisions between the magnet programs and the regular kids. It is a terrific school with a lot of diversity in all aspects, but everything is competitive because of the sheer size.

Einstein is the least competitive of all the schools you listed but it has a great reputation in the DCC. People in the CC/Bethesda/Potomac area put it down probably because of its location and the building appears quite run down but we know a few kids who go there and they have really positive reviews. It houses a very small and prestigious visual arts program.[/quote]

Disagree about Einstein's building. It's not brand new, but perfectly fine (just overcrowded, like almost all the schools are). Northwood has the old and run-down building, but it is getting a new building in a few years, so its students will all be bussed to a holding school in Rockville for 2 years during construction.[/quote]
