[quote=Anonymous][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).

[b]We have a current 7th grader who will likely get into both magnets next year [/b](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.
