[quote=Anonymous]I still hold that it's your immediate neighbors that matter more than the overall reputation of the school. Of the various ACPS schools, I think only Jefferson-Houston would make me pause entirely since it seems even ACPS has given up on the place. I'd give the other schools a chance, even GW if my DD did okay in But if you live in a neighborhood with drug dealers/users, people having drunken fights at 1am, people living 15 to a house and taking all the parking, etc., etc., that'll wear on you quick, especially if you grew up in a nice Midwestern area or a wealthier DC suburb. FWIW, it's all relative. Folks in Lansdowne fought like hell to avoid getting sent to Tuscarora High School because of the chance they'd get contaminated with North Leesburg germs. But most of you see Leesburg and Lansdowne as "ew, exurbia." [/quote]
