[quote=Anonymous]We are very fortunate to have had  the ability to choose any HS that we wanted last year when we moved to the area.

After a lot of research, we chose BCC. It is just as strong as any of the W schools, looking closely at the scores and sub-scores will show you this (we had a student entering 9th grade that would be unable to ever test for a magnet program so a strong peer group was important). It also has some economic and racial diversity that is a massive benefit to kids, we liked the freedom it offered kids (both during the school day and kids being able to walk/bus/metro to each other's homes) , and out of what are  considered the stronger schools it is by far the least affected by helicopter parenting (likely due to many dual income families and large international population).

We have a current 7th grader who will likely get into both magnets next year (extraordinarily strong standardized test taker, has been student of the month multiple times, straight As, got into a very prestigious summer academic program, etc) and it will be her choice, but we will be very happy if she chooses BCC for HS.
