[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The three schools (and neighborhoods) do have different cultures and different pros/cons. Go and visit and see which is the best fit for you. 
Janney - a lot of anxious lawyer parents. Excellent facilities. High quality of teachers. Well run. Somehow able to operate outside many of the more draconian limitations of DCPS.
Lafayette - nicer houses than in Janney area. I found the school to be less academically good than Janney but it was a while ago.
Murch - perhaps the most beholden to DCPS nonsense. But also slightly less undiverse than the other two. 
Lafayette and Murch are also closer to the rest of DC. If you live in the Janney area, you are going to be spending a lot of time in Bethesda.[/quote]

Lafayette isn’t close to the rest of DC — do you even know DC? Murch and Janney are about 3 min drive apart from each other, so again, not sure what you’re talking about. Janney is actually the only one that sits across the street from a metro station. [/quote]
