[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]Is Gaithersburg HS really that bad?[/b] My BIL’s family lives in a multi-million dollar home neighborhood in Laytonsville where the vast majority of the high school aged kids go to GHS. I’d find it hard to believe that these parents who live in $1.5M homes & are very educated would ever send their kid to a school that’s as bad as being what’s described here. [/quote]
No, it's not. Gaithersburg HS is our home high school. I live in a neighborhood of $800k+ homes. My neighbors and I have all been very happy with GHS. When we moved here 20 years ago and asked about the HS, my neighbor said to ignore the averages. "Your kids will be in advanced classes along with many other academically strong kids and won't be interacting with students learning English or in remedial classes. It won't be a problem." And that was true.

This board is full of very opinionated folks who need to justify their own choices by dismissing the choices of others. In reality, a lot of people living downcounty have no idea of what upcounty neighborhoods and schools are like (and how much it has changed in the past 20 years.) As usual, your own SES status is the best predictor of your own children's academic success.[/quote]
