[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How do the nicest neighborhoods in DC and Philly compare?[/quote]

There is not a single acceptable zoned public high school within Philly itself. [/quote]

This is not true.  My sister and I went to Girls' high and my brother went to Central[/quote]

I don’t think either of those schools are what they once were. Did you go before Central was coed?

Philly has terrible public schools, but there are some decent schools systems in the suburbs. And many of the schools in the suburbs are run by the townships, rather than the gigantic county systems we have here. The problem is, even if you’re in the suburbs with good schools to send your kids to, you are still close to the city and it’s many problems. The city’s problems will affect your quality of life, even if you are outside the city lines.

Lol those “decent” suburban schools are some of the top ranked publics in the nation and all rank higher than anything in DCA public schools. Two or three of the nations top districts are on the main line.[/quote]

+1. I went to one of the suburban public systems myself as a kid, and the education was truly excellent. I haven't been able to find something similar in the DMV.[/quote]

+2 another Philly suburban public school grad here who got an excellent education and have not been able to find something similar for my kids here. [/quote]
