[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You will find the small contingent of middle class families that go there are passionately booster-rific but they aren’t the defining character of the school. They will mention coded TOP classes and what not which is there way of saying avoid the general pop at all cost. As one of the first poster said there is a reason [b]houses zoned for Einstein are amount the cheapest in the DCC[/b]. It isn’t because the parents are frugal, it is because most parents don’t want them.[/quote]

Um, isn't the Woodside area zoned for Einstein?  This is a ridiculous assertion.  We looked at houses zoned for Wheaton and Kennedy and they were considerably cheaper than the houses zoned for Einstein.  We are actually zoned for Northwood, but I chose to send my child to Einstein instead because it has better AP scores (there is MCPS documentation to prove it).  Einstein houses cost less than WJ houses.  That's it.

Also, my DD took her higher-level Spanish classes with native speaker classmates, as she had gotten fluent enough through some travel abroad.  These classes were a treasure for her and not at all full of middle-class white kids.  Her chemistry class also had an ESOL section, accompanied by a para.  The teacher handled the situation beautifully and my DD again had an opportunity to practice Spanish skills.  Life is what you make of it. [/quote]
