[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Parent of two DCPS graduates, both went to Hardy and then graduated from Wilson/Jackson Reed. It is hard to make a direct comparison between the middle schools, but I can tell you that measuring the ultimate outcome - college acceptance and readiness - the DCPS kids were very much on par with their peers from Arlington and Montgomery County. If anything, I think the DCPS kids were more college ready and independent than the Arlington/MoCo kids.[/quote] It's not that kids can't do well from DCPS or that they can't be prepared for college and life. It's that it is so very hard to make sure your kid is one of those kids. In my observation, it seems particularly hard to make sure a boy is one of those kids. In terms of independence, I think teens in Arlington can be very independent, depending on their parents and where they live. My kids at W-L walked to school/to most events and rode the bus and metro all over Arlington and DC.[/quote]
