[quote=Anonymous]My SS neighborhood (Woodside) feeds into Einstein. My kids are still in ES so here's my two cents from the teenage babysitter perspective. Over the years I've had four Einstein students as sitters, two Blair students, and one BCC. All of them have been great young women, smart and motivated and college-bound and basically "good girls." The ones at Einstein and Blair have had really good things to say about their schools; they were involved in sports, music, clubs, etc. The one at BCC, on the other hand, broke my heart one night as I drove her home and she blurted that she felt like a total outcast because she was the only daughter of a single mom and they lived in an apartment and the crappy used car she had to drive got made fun of by her richer classmates; she said the class distinctions were making her miserable and she hated BCC. Now, I'm sure you can't paint all of BCC with that broad stroke, but it does suggest there's more to a school than its gossipy surface reputation (whether that be "violent" or "amazing")...

When we moved a couple years ago, we stayed in SS and within the DCC feeders with the above in mind and many other reasons too (enumerated by the Woodside Park poster and others) -- and we could have afforded something plenty nice in Bethesda. [/quote]
