[quote=Anonymous]The piece of information that we're missing, and that would be most helpful to the OP, is this: How do middle-class English-speaking kids with stable home lives and involved parents fare at Einstein versus any other school in MCPS?

My anecdotal experience is that those kids do just fine, and their outcomes are pretty similar to kids who check those same boxes at other public high schools.

It's hard to get proper data to support that anecdotal impression, since most data isn't tracked by SES in MCPS, but the Schools at a Glance does show roughly equal AP/IB/Honors enrollment among white* kids at Einstein and BCC, and roughly equal performance on the statewide tests.

So, for the OP, I'd say to wait and see.  Household income, parents with college degrees, stable home life - these things are ultimately much closer correlated with academic success than where a kid goes to high school.

*Unfortunately, there's no data by SES or HHI, so we're left using race as a proxy for middle-class, which is problematic, I'll admit.  [/quote]
