[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Both schools are in general poor choices with inadequate teachers and incompetent administration.  There are bright kids at both schools, but the average kid is certainly a lot weaker than at your typical DC area private - I compare them to privates due to the school sizes are comparable.

If you are not first GEN and/or low income, I would try hard to look elsewhere.[/quote]

Do you have actual experience at both schools with these inadequate teachers?  You sound condescending and like you haven’t actually met many kids at these schools.  I have and many are intelligent, thoughtful and involved in their community.  [/quote]

Yes I have met and know many kids from both high schools...I will not be too specific as I do not want to identify myself ---- the kids are fine but the schools are weak and that absolutely affects their development.
 If you have met kids from the better suburban publics you would know this as well.   Dysfunctional schools will not consistently produce many high performing kids --- please note the word "many".[/quote]

I have met kids from ‘better’ suburban public schools.  Don’t see much of a difference.  Walls and JR produce many high performing kids.  All of this might be a function of SES, parents, etc.  But still I disagree whole heartedly with your assertion.[/quote]
