Then again, right now, parents at our title I school are interesting, mission-focused people who work in non profits and in government, and I like the idea of being in a community with those sorts of values. Then this forum makes me think that the kinds of amazing opportunities my kids would love is all in the burbs and not in dc—but maybe it’s just a grass is always greener situation. Any thoughts on how people are working through this kind of decision? [/quote]

IMHO you will find your people in Takoma Park, or possibly even better, the East Silver Spring Elementary catchment because it feeds into TPMS (with its middle school magnet set-aside) and Blair, but without the TKPK property taxes!   [/quote]

Before you flee to TKPK, if you're not big on crime, you may want to shop around first.  Check on Blair's suspension and serious incident stats.  It's not the rosy picture it's cracked up to be.[/quote]

Yes, Blair has those mythical consequences for bad behavior that people here are always going on about unlike schools like BCC where kids are passed out drunk in the bathrooms or various W's with non-stop antisemitic incidents.

Anyway, speaking of MCPS HSs search the board for 1326 to see a breakdown of MCPS schools by SAT and demographic cohort. It provides great insight than the bulk average. Also, check out the Bethesda Beats college edition that shows college outcomes by HS.[/quote]
