[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kids are very happy and doing quite well at a school with a greatschools rating of 2. Imagine that. I don't put any stock in the greatschools ratings. Talk to parents at the school you're considering. Go sit in on a PTA meeting. [/quote] enrolled at greatschool rate 8 a few years back from a 6. The 6 was DCPS elementary and was a great school. The 8 was a charter (k-8) and was horrible. Just because it's 8 or 10 does not mean much in DC. MD or VA might be different.[/quote] I believe in DC the 10s are probably the same as the 5 or 6 in viginia or maryland. Look at schooldigger to compare across school systems.[/quote] This is one of those irrational beliefs that seems common in VA or MD. The idea that say Janney or Lafayette is around the quality of a state average MD school is completely asinine.[/quote]
