That said, the average kid in MCPS and NoVA public schools are some of the smartest in the country. They will blow away private school kids in NYC, many of whom are there merely because they are rich. Your daughter would probably be "middle of the road" if she was attending upper-income suburban public schools in NJ, Westchester, Long Island, or Massachusetts. [/quote]

Dude that’s just bullshit. I’ve lived in Greater Boston area, Seattle and Dallas, and there are smart kids everywhere.   DC isn’t that special. Seattle suburban public schools were crazy competitive given concentration of tech workers there. [/quote]

There's a similar concentration of advanced degrees here. Arlington, Fairfax, Montgomery County, Loudoun etc all rank highly on the percentage of people with advanced degrees. Highly educated parents push education for their children. You can check out the schools whose students get the most NMSF awards, and they tend to be the suburbs with the most highly educated parents.

You have lived in cities with highly educated populations, not low income areas.
