[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]I feel like maybe you’re not from around here... Most people in the DCC end up choosing their home school for the reasons you state: convenience, friends, community. When they choose a different school it’s because it offers a different academy or magnet program that fits their needs, not to escape anything. If your point is to promote W schools I think you posted in the wrong thread. Here we’re talking about what DCC kids plan to choose.[/quote]

No, I'm in the DCC. "What are your plans for high school?" is a common question around here because many people do not stay at their home schools. Some people move to a better school cluster not always a W as there are plenty of others in the DMV, some people go private, and some people try to get into a magnet program at a different DCC school. It is a negative that close friends get peeled off because the schools aren't that good. No point in being dishonest about it and pretending it doesn't exist. [/quote]

Ok, I wasn’t being dishonest, I just really don’t see this in our Einstein feeder middle school. There were some nervous nellies who used to ask “what are you going to do about middle school” because they intended to move to private or a rich neighborhood, but by high school we seem to be pretty settled in.[/quote]

NP here, my DC's friend group did get scattered to the winds in 9th grade, but as a senior she's got a solid group of friends.  The MS friends that are at her HS aren't as close as they used to be.  My HS experience was the similar--all my MS friends went to my HS, but it was a time of divergence and meeting new people.  Of course it's good to have some friends on the way in, but the odds that those will still be best friends four years later are slim.  These things can't be planned out.[/quote]
