[quote=Anonymous]We are two lawyers, we live right on the WJ/DCC line.  We moved a few years ago from a tiny house in the DCC and decided to buy a bigger house and stay in the DCC because our daughter didn't want to leave her friends.  Our DD goes to Einstein, and I'm so glad we didn't move out of the DCC when we moved a few years ago.  I don't have anything to compare it to, but we've been very happy with Einstein.  Our DD is part of a leadership program that is kids from the W schools and private schools and I don't think those kids experience is any better than ours.  In fact, I think our DD is more compassionate and wiser than her peers at those schools because she is not surrounded exclusively by privileged white kids.  She understood that some of her friends during COVID went hungry because their parents didn't work, and the community helps other families out.

Our DD is high achieving academically, and is very happy.  There's a nice community and she's made lots of new friends playing sports and is involved in student government.  There is a lot of school spirit.  The music program is amazing.  The teachers have all been very good, with the exception of one, and there are not-so-good teachers everywhere.  I really think that Einstein's bad reputation is racism.  Majority/minority schools are always called "rough."  Test scores mean nothing.  Yes, when we go to events there, there are a lot of black and brown faces and our child is in the minority.  We actually think this is a good thing.  We also like the fact that the school is not huge compared to the other schools in the DCC.

I really can't think of anything bad to say about it.  [/quote]
