[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's just about wanting to avoid schools where the primary focus is on getting kids up to grade level or in a position to graduate even if never at grade level. The peer groups at the W schools are academically stronger and encourage each other to excel.  [/quote]

+1 this has been our experience.    Add WJ to your list OP.    Large ranges of homes, townhomes, condos, and apartment in zone.

My kids are both Blair graduates and had zero classes where the "primary focus (was) on getting kids up to grade level or in a position to graduate even if never at grade level."  Both of my kids attended T30 colleges and are highly successful, independent adults now at 25 and 22.[/quote]

DP and yeah, this example is yet another of people not understanding that there are sizable cohorts of above grade level kids at every single high school in MCPS.  Smart kids will have peer groups.  They're smaller at some schools than others, and variations in income level, but let's stop mistaking parental income for children's intelligence.[/quote]

Doesn't square with some MCPS high schools having dozens, or at least a half dozen, National Merit Semifinalists every year and others going years without any NMSFs. [/quote]

If the PSAT is your only measure of intelligence, you really have no clue what you’re talking about.[/quote]
