[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP the silver spring schools are rubbish. please don't move there because you feel poor compared to some families in Bethesda.

We were not rich and our kids did fine at Whitman. Go for the academically strongest place you can find. Whitman, BCC, Churchill.  The second 2 of these will be more diverse, if that matters to you.[/quote]

How can you know that the SS schools are rubbish?  I don't have a dog in this fight, but am considering a MoCo move, and I had the impression that Blair, at least (which is TKPK not SS, I guess) had offerings and outcomes as good as the W/BCC schools.    [/quote]

Blair's college outcomes are a lot better than any W according to the data published by Bethesda Beat.

Also, there was that document that leaked a few years ago that showed the average SAT scores by demographic cohort for each HS was very interesting.[/quote]

Wouldn't that just reflect that Blair has a competitive magnet program whereas the other schools do not?[/quote]

And the Ws have their share of rich students.  Maybe….. they’re all good?[/quote]

No. There are plenty of mediocre rich kids. But magnet kids are selected for academics. [/quote]

Of course, but the demographic population serving the W’s is richer (with fewer poor students), and that trends toward better academic performance.  That gives them an edge.  I’d be skeptical that demographically similar students at any of these schools perform that differently.[/quote]

Agree if you compare gen ed students to one another , but Blair has the magnet.[/quote]
