[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Many of the high FARMS schools in this area are also home schools for very well educated, high income parents. Silver Spring is home to many of the NIH, FDA scientists, college professors, and fed attorneys etc. These jobs even with two parents working pay well but maybe not well enough for a 1.2 million dollar home. As long as your kid has a cohort of high performers, which many in the DCC do, it's not that big of a deal that there are kids in other tracks in the school that have lower scores are who are not college bound. These are not the kids in the AP classes etc.

shh don't tell the W folks that.  They will get mad that they paid twice as much for a house in a higher performing school pyramid[/quote]

This is the kind of neighborhood we are in, not in the DCC but elsewhere in ganglandia. My neighbors are physicists, biomed lab workers, federal law enforcement. When we bought in, we were two senior feds. Our income has since doubled (one of us went private sector) and although we could afford a nice house in a w area, we like it here and don't want to leave. Our kids are challenged in school and we have tutoring and other enrichment to fill in the gaps. I'm fine with the farms kids- they give my kids a perspective they wouldn't otherwise have, and I don't have the issues I read about on here with social pressure about clothing brands, etc.  [/quote]
