[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DCPS is literal garbage. [/quote]

Can you give more specifics why you think DCPS high schools are garbage? DCPS has at least 3-4 strong high schools. I’ve had two kids graduate from Jackson-Reed. Both went on to Yale and are doing very well there. They were well prepared by their HS. That being said, I wouldn’t move if I was OP. Public schools in general these days have a lot of issues. MCPS has unfortunately declined in quality and the gap between MCPS and upper NW schools has closed considerably [/quote]

This family sounds in bounds for BCC which is pretty darn similar to JR on many levels.[/quote]

Fairly happy DCPS parent here, but I would not move "for the schools" if I was in-bound for BCC. If you like the house or the neighborhood better, great. It takes more planning and work and some luck to find a good pathway in DC though it's absolutely possible.

But what you have in MoCo is at least as good as what you'll get in upper NW, and arguably a lot better for middle and high. [/quote]

BCC is not that much better than JR.[/quote]
