[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]All are good schools. By good I mean "an excellent environment for your child." I will provide a (emphasis on "a," not "the") DCPS perspective: the Department of Education has been awarding Blue Ribbon recognition to top public and private schools since 1982. It's their highest award, given to about 300 schools each year. Janney, Murch and Key have all won once. Mann is one of 12 or so schools in the country to have won FOUR times. Mann is DCPS's crown jewel, even if the People's Champion is often located at another address. [/quote] Um.....a blue ribbon doesn't expire and schools ask to be nominated. It really isn't that impressive of an award if you look at Blue Ribbon schools in DC-- many you wouldn't send your child to. [/quote]
