[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Einstein is an awesome school.  Compare it to BCC on any metric:  SAT scores - check, School placement - check, suspension rate- check, drugs - check, housing prices - check, restaurants nearby - check, safety in the halls/beefing - check, special ed - check, APs offered - check, pregnancy - check, teacher engagement - check, math championship - check, WIFI/BYOD policy - check, BBall - check, field quality - check, facial hair policy - check, notable alumni - check, Model UN/Congress - check, speed of receiving report cards - check, student parking - check, shorts on Fridays- check, close to the slopes - check

I love this place!!!![/quote]

compare the scores but then compare how many kids take the tests.  wen only the top students take the test it is not a real reflection of the entire student body.  Einstein is a fine school but the bottom half of it is really bad.  [/quote]

Actually, isn't that a good thing as colleges are only going to take so many kids from each high school so that gives your child a greater chance of going to the college of their choice.  It also isn't as competitive in some sports - i.e. only team kids make it on the teams, etc.  Its really income based.  Higher income schools have parents who can pay for supports and private tutoring.  If MCPS put more supports in place with the struggling kids, some may do much better given their parents cannot or will not be able to provide the extra's that other parents can.  Drugs and alcohol are at every school and if anything more at the W schools as kids have more money and access.[/quote]
