Other than the best high school in the state (one of the top in the country), the best middle school in the state and one of the very best elementary schools in the state [b]what am I missing[/b]? Should these be avoided because others cant afford them?[/quote]

You are missing what posters are actually discussing here, which is not the quality of Bannockburn ES, Pyle MS, or Whitman HS, but rather the demographics of various parts of Montgomery County and DC and their respective school systems.[/quote]

NP here and so what?  Sadly, the demographics tend to show the school's ability.  Are you saying we should all want to go to Wheaton Regional instead of Whitman because it is more diverse even though the drop out rate is higher, the test scores are lower and there are more police calls/arrests there?  If we prefer Whitman, we are racist?

I want my kids to go to the best school with kids that want to be there and learn.  That get good grades and test scores.  Families that take it seriously.  I would send my kid to a 99% hispanic school if it was the highest rated, but guess what?  There aren't any.  [/quote]

AGREED!!![/quote]
