[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]I don’t understand why it’s so hard for some of you to believe that many families send different kids to different schools with different levels of rigor. One at GDS and the other at Field? One at Walls and the other at JR? One at RMIB and the other at BCC? One at TJ and the other at … some neighborhood high school in FCPS?[/b] This sort of thing happens all the time.  And even when both schools are selective, as with two privates or two magnets, it is common for one to be more selective than the other. [/quote]

THIS.  It happens all the time.  I know twins who were split between Jackson Reed and Sidwell.  I had this dynamic in my own house for a few years (one twin in public, one in private) but we ended up moving twin 2 to a private for high school.  I know 2 other sets of twins who are split between a "Big3" private and another, lower tier private.  I know at least a dozen siblings who are split by public/charter and private (some Big3, some not).

Parents choose schools by fit.  They also let their kids have a say where they attend school by high school.  And there really isn't a "universally best option" out there. [/quote]
