[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]NP here - if we want rigorous academics and good kids/ nice friends (and parents of course), incl. good sports, music, science, math etc. - will Westland and BCC qualify? We are international, educated family, with smart kid entering MS this Fall, but we are not rich/affluent in Bethesda-terms. So, I would feel more at ease with kid going to economically more diverse schools, as long as they are just as excellent as I hear Pyle/WW are. Kid is smart, but I don't think as driven as I hear those kids at WW are; neither am I as a parent. Any feedback? We are white if that matters.[/quote]

Lots of international families at BCC, likely b/c of the IB program and many of those kids go to university overseas so the college counseling office must (?) have some familiarity with that process. 
I have a hard time believing that Whitman is better just because of an invisible line that separates the boundaries for the school. There are just as many well educated, driven families in Eastern Bethesda/Chevy Chase as there are in Western Bethesda/Potomac.[/quote]

Thank you - that is useful feedback.[/quote]
