Yes but no 5-star schools yet like Ivies, top liberal arts colleges e.g. Pamona, Amherst, military academies or top technical schools like MIT.  They shoot for small 2nd and 3rd tier liberal arts colleges and area state schools, not every parent's cup of tea.[/quote]

Every parent who has her heart dead-set on choosing her child's academic career at an Ivy, and is unable to pay for the private school she really wants, would be much happier in the suburbs than in DC.  Montgomery County awaits you, sweetheart.  They do have nice car dealerships and steak houses out there, I'm told.[/quote]

I'm a military dad, honey, with a kid who thrives on sports and math and loves history.  Maybe a military academy bound child?  Why MoCo, why not a single DC middle and high school sequence with the goods?   There is no reason DC can't have at least one or two suburban-quality public high schools here in 2012 - we have the cash/facilities, the kids, the educators, the parents.  Unfortunately, we also have relatively low expectations perpetuated by dingbats like you.

I'm from a military family.  I also have a scholarship [i]and[/i] two degrees from the very institutions you're slavering over.  Watch you call a dingbat, buddy - you might just be saying more about yourself.[/quote]
