[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think all the "W" promotors are just fools. I live in a beautiful, family friendly-neighborhood with lots of wonderful, professional neighbors who have interesting careers. My house is large, updated with a nice addition and cost us $430K (worth more, but we bought a while ago). My kids go to DCC schools with a great group, have a lot of diverse friends, there's much less social pressure for possessions and money than in the W schools, and my high schooler will graduate with 10 AP credits, a high GPA in almost all honors/AP, and interesting extracurriculars. [b]I am 100% confident both will get into the colleges of their choice -[/b]- and even better, that we have saved enough to pay for that! We do it all on a reasonable HHI with both parents having plenty of time with kids. I can work from home. Sure, we could have moved to a "W" school cluster but why? [/quote] Maybe they are fools, maybe they are not... College process is highly unpredictable. Just having 10 APs/"high" GPA doesn't guarantee an admission to college of your choice. There are a lot of kids with 10 or more APs/IBs in MCPS with 99%tile test scores. What is your DC's SAT or ACT scores that made you so confident? [/quote]
