[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We live in the DCC area in MoCo, and this won't be an issue for more than a decade, but since Blair is the best of the five HS in the DCC does basically everyone apply to it? Although I guess there are specialty programs at the others, like a leadership institute at Kennedy. [/quote] Not sure that I agree that Blair is the "best" and I suppose what is "best" depends on what you mean by the term. Blair is so huge that it offers a lot of different things for different students, and of course it has two excellent magnet programs (math/science and CAP), but its mind-boggling size can be an issue for some students. Too big. Einstein is a much more accessible school IMO and has a wonderful IB program, a fabulous visual arts program, and a lot of great extracurriculars. People also seem to like Northwood. We live in the DCC and when we moved here we thought it would be an "issue," that we might revisit living here when our kids got older. Well, they are now in HS and MS and they are thriving - so we are not going anywhere.[/quote]
