[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just a note on the fact that we're not hearing from a lot of Einstein parents on this board - I don't know if there are statistics, but I strongly suspect that this forum (DCUM) skews heavily toward Bethesda/Chevy Chase/Potomac plus Takoma Park and the wealthier parts of Silver Spring.

To the OP - why not put your question to a listserv in your neighborhood.  Ask for replies off-list if you want.  I think you'll be pleasantly surprised with the results.  [/quote]

OP here.  Most everyone I know has kids in ES or maybe a child in the MS.  As for another PP, I have heard the Newport is night and day from a few years ago.  That coming from the parents that started the movement to push for rigor and more accountability a few years ago.

The reason I am posting to an anonymous board instead of my listserv is we are a pretty tight community and I think folks are sensitive to questions about the HS because no one wants to lose a neighbor (okay - maybe a couple, but they are the exception :).  I think everyone understands there needs to be a critical mass to create change so they don't want to see folks drop out along the way.  So I can post, but I know it will lead to emails from folks without high schoolers asking why I am asking and I was hoping to gain some insight that would help either put up a red flag or calm me down.

Definitely a few good points and things to think about so thanks to PPs.  I agree - odd that there are no Einstein posters but then again, I don't know of many teenagers in the area (even those at babysitter age are slim pickings).  This area is absolutely full of ES kids and now that we have been here a few years, more numerous MS kids.

Einstein parents aren't chiming in because they are tired of being asked about their school, only to have the asker not believe them when they report being happy.

[b]Newport Mill is as good as it was 3 years ago when some angry 6th grade parents, freshly pissed off that their off spring hadn't made it into a magnet, caused a brief stink.[/b] [/quote]

That's interesting.  Thanks.  [/quote]
