[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There is a reason moving to suburban schools doesn't lead to desired college admissions results. [/quote]

Do you want to compare the Ws or FCPS school outcomes to the outcomes from Eastern High? For families that can afford to be in bounds for Wilson (and who insist that Chevy Chase DC is not the suburbs while Chevy Chase MD is clearly the suburbs) DCPS works fine. For families that would be inbounds to any other high school, it's easier to move than hope for lottery luck [/quote]

This argument makes no sense to me. If your child does well at their suburban school, they’d also probably do well, and most likely ranked even higher at Eastern. [/quote]

Higher rank?!  High rank at a lackluster school is hardly good preparation for college or life!  And not a good use of 4 years of time, nor a particularly life-fulfilling experience.[/quote]

When you talk about school outcomes it sounds like you mean college. I’m sure your child will be even better prepared by spending four years in a diverse “work place” that is more reminiscent of reality that the burbs many parents try to use as shields from blackness [/quote]
