[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How does Janney compare to Key?[/quote]

close but slightly ahead in top tier order rankings:
1. Janney
2. Key
3. Lafayette
4. Mann[/quote]

But you left out the handicap of having to deal with Janney parents, which moves it down the list several pegs.[/quote]

But Janney has the Deal feeder, which pops it right back up there.

See, this can go on forever.  There is always something.[/quote]

NP I'll play. I actually ranked these schools for lottery. I am already IB for Deal (not at any of these). I also value scores which bring Janney down a little.

1. Eaton
2. Stoddert
3. Hearst
4. Mann
5. Lafayette 
6. Janney
7. Murch (mainly due to renovation)
8. Ross[/quote]

^^^  Fair enough.  That was my posting, and I was mostly being silly.  But your point is well taken.  [/quote]

Hearst seems to be rising, but Eaton consistently seems to punch below its weight.  You'd expect that being located in the middle of Cleveland Park Eaton would be a stellar school, but compared to most in Ward 3 it's not top tier.  Why?[/quote]

Because all the families who live there are either menopausal (no children in ES) or (and this should be obvious) too wealthy for public school.  Janney parents, by way of contrast, are desperate for high quality public schools - they can't afford private.  Everyone in Eaton's catchment outgrew it or can afford better.

This is hardly mysterious.[/quote]
