[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]To the poster that moved to Potomac from silver spring for better schools. Why are they better? [/quote]

They are NOT better in terms of curriculum (same curriculum for a given class across all schools) or mostly in terms of teachers (same teacher pool, pay, etc. across the county though some teachers may have a slight preference for W schools).  Depending on home school, they may offer more APs and you're generally surrounded by a set of kids who push themselves hard academically.  This last point leads to higher average test scores overall.  [/quote]

Teachers are hit or miss and the good ones aren't always at the "best" schools.  The big differences is that most of the kids are from families that have struggles but not financial, and there are other issues with families with money and the access to AP classes and IEP's/504's.  For college admission, being at a Silver Spring school may give your child more college acceptances as less competition.[/quote]
