[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]"Thanks for this breath of sanity. It's a rare thing on this board. If you replace "Brent" for "Maury" you've described our situation to a 't'."[/quote] [quote=Anonymous]No, what you're referencing is pretty much the mainstream view. Experienced Hill parents and a bunch of others are challenging the notion though. Yes, you can get by just fine with public elementary school. By middle school and high school the public options in DC, including the very "best" are still weak compared to our suburban counterparts and most privates in the area. Brent is fine. Just fine. Nothing extraordinary but for this side of the park, it is probably one of the "best" as is Maury. The problem is, the bar is so low here in DC, being the "best" means precious little. Does it really matter much in elementary school? No. But wait until middle school. Just wait. And be sure and save your nickels or be prepared to move if you want a top quality education for your child.[/quote] Try telling this to the folks at CHPSPO and the Cluster.[/quote]
