[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We live in Kennedy neighborhood and have older kids there (both love it!). Our choices for this kid was Einstein, Blair, Northwood, Wheaton, Kennedy. We got Einstein.[/quote]

The most impressive high schoolers on the panel of DCC students that my middle schooler attended were from Kennedy. The least? CAP kids from Blair. And I have a CAP kid (not on the panel, though).

The one Kennedy kid said, “don’t choose a high school, or activities once you get to that high school, because of how it’ll affect your college chances… high school is not one extended college application. It’s its own thing. Just do things you enjoy and it will own out.”

I nearly cried with happiness that some kid, at Kennedy!, gets it. The CAP kids on the other hand? Loved to hear themselves talk and it was really cringey.

Anyway, I know Kennedy is probably not as well run as Blair, and doesn’t have the PTA bench strength of Einstein, or the beautiful building and smart science kids like Wheaton, but after that panel? I really did come away impressed with the sort of peers that my kid would have at that school. I wanted to ask him who his parents were so I could congratulate them! [/quote]

The PTA doesn't do much at Einstein.  The booster clubs raise money but don't do anything above or extra beyond basic fundraising.[/quote]
