[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here-thanks for the suggestions-what I want most is a nurturing elementary on the smaller side but a middle and high school where There are a variety of academic and non academic opportunities-activities and clubs, honors courses/apps etc. and to the PP-no need to take offense by what I was saying-some kids are smart but not academic/more into other things, some need a lot of guidance and some are self motivated and driven and don't need as much hand holding. So as opposed  to the kids that aren't self motivated or are not really into academics or academic oriented achievement. I have a child that is more motivated than they are bright (DC is smart enough but her work ethic is greater than her intelligence.) and a school that caters to that kind of student would be a better fit.[/quote]

It is public HS. All the top HS are going to offer the AP's, after school, sports activities that you want. The three highest rated HS's are Wootton, Whitman and Churchill.

The MS's for Wootton are Cabin John and Frost, for Whitman, Pyle and for Churchill, Cabin John and Hoover. Agree that MS can be tough for any kid.

Choose your neighborhood based on what you can afford and what type of community you want. The smallest elementary that fees into these schools is 7 Locks.(goes into Cabin John and Churchill)

The rest will run bet 450 and 550 for elementary. The MS's run around 1200. [/quote]

These schools' results are driven more by ethnicity / SES than anything else. [/quote]
