[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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]

Just curious, are you planning to send your child to Eastern?[/quote]

I’m in the Coolidge  feeder, but will be sending my kid there. [/quote]

I’m a DCPS HS teacher and you sound naive. High school is a completely different beast from ES and MS. And teenagers have their own ideas where they want to go for high school by the way. [/quote]

Yup me too and I trust my kid + my parenting. if they wanna go elsewhere they’re certainly welcome to and I’ll support them. There’s good hs teachers everywhere and my kid will be just fine[/quote]
