[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Any school in the NEC or DCC need a serious eval by parents. They are not all bad but one must ask the question why the lower test avg schools are are lumped together. What type of choice is that or than misdirection to stabilize property values so people think they don’t have to go to their home school. All the desirable schools are not part of choice program.

That's not entirely true. Blair is very desirable and it's part of the DCC. But yes, the other schools in the DCC and NEC are certainly way bumpier academically and environmentally compared to Blair.[/quote]

Oldest graduated from Blair and it was a disaster. My kid had an IEP and was an average student in average classes and never touched the magnet. The quality of teaching was abysmal and the administration was a disaster. I am not a helicopter parent and basic requests were ignored to a point I had to contact supervisors.

My youngest is at Northwood and it is the exact opposite. Teachers have been so kind and responsive. This has far been the norm to the exception. Administrator are fantastic too. I emailed the principal for a very low level request and wasn’t expecting a response for several daya but he responded within the hour and took care of everything. If I had a time machine I would have sent my oldest to Northwood years ago.

Don’t believe the hype about schools with magnet programs if your kids aren’t in those programs.[/quote]
