[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Future BCC parent here who also has concerns.

I would have the same exact concerns no matter where my kid was going to hs.

OP, what kind of special snowflake high school did YOU go to that drugs were not an issue???[/quote]

Why are you so insulting to OP? I went to an international high school in Paris. Kids I knew smoked cigarettes outside of school and partied with alcohol. When we heard some kids went to someone's house at lunch to smoke weed, it made the rounds of the school because it was so shocking. People were not into weed in my school. Let alone harder drugs. [/quote]

How about the drugs being largely supplied by a Central American gang - MS-13 - that likes to dismember folks who disagree with them?  Did your international Paris high school have these types of upstanding citizens linked to a well organized violent and illegal distribution system?[/quote]

Why do you even ask, PP? I'm not the type to be impressed by your exposure to MS-13 or appreciate whatever macho weirdness you're trying to project. My point is that some teens do not go to high schools that have much drug use, if any. If all you've experienced is the opposite, then this might surprise you. But accept that all sorts of lifestyles and experiences exist, and you'll be better off.

The question is whether OP should be concerned about her fifth grader. I think BCC can get turned around before her child goes there, but if she wants to move to WJ or Whitman, which currently have fewer issues, of course, she can. Or she can pay for private. As another poster said, there are degrees in drug exposure. I'm sure privates have fewer issues with drugs, even though theoretically drugs are "everywhere".
