[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So other than the 4 ws and the blair and RM magnets, are there any other acceptable schools? What about Northwest, and Quince Orchard? [/quote] BCC.[/quote] That is it? No where more affordable ? [/quote] It depends on what you're looking for. Poolesville is more affordable and has great test scores on par with Churchill, but it's also smaller and doesn't have some of the other programs, like IB at WJ. I think of Blair as being similar to RM in that both have some great programs and are in more affordable areas, but with a big difference in performance between those kids and the rest of the kids. Schooldigger.com has some good info, as does US News and the MCPS website. All three can tell you about test scores, special programs, graduation rates, etc. but they miss a lot of the "vibe" of the school. The best schools unfortunately do tend to be in the more expensive neighborhoods because you have higher SES families there, typically with more resources and involvement.[/quote]
