[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No, but your kid can apply to Duke Ellington and could be accepted as an out of District resident. You’d have to pay tuition though, or move to DC.

Nothing MCPS has compares with that. But I also know from parents at Duke Ellington that the academics aren’t great, so you’d be giving up quite a bit to have your kid attend it. [/quote]
I know students this year going from Duke to Yale, Hopkins and Smith.

Not saying this is across the board - but I think it might be improving [/quote]

That is definitely not the norm. People in DC whose kids are serious about academics generally avoid Duke Ellington even when they are very talented. [/quote]

They are probably going for arts, not academics.  Most of the talented kids do outside Mcps.  YAA, MCYO, PVYO, etc.  [/quote]

Agree. Those who are serious about academics go with a stronger school and do arts outside of school. Duke Ellington is good for those who are serious about arts but not academics.[/quote]

Yeah, that's not true at all. MOST art students are actually very passionate about their art AND academics as well. MOST students want a school that excels in both. They shouldn't have to choose and they aren't doing that at Duke Ellington, but please pretend you know more about this.[/quote]

Duke Ellington is rigorous. PP knows nothing, for sure.[/quote]
