[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DS has all A’s in MCPS and is a good athlete but academics is more important to us. We want the best opportunity for our kid to get the best academic opportunities, a welcoming community, a positive high school experience as far as nice classmates, and position him for a future professional network and college matriculation opportunities. We applied to Good Counsel, Bullis, Landon, and Georgetown Prep to enter the 9th next year. FYSA- He is a URM and we will be a full pay family. Which school would you choose if your DS was accepted to all and why?[/quote]
 The HS academics culture can vary at MCPS by school, and by grade at the schools you mention. Which HS in MCPS are you zoned for? Some of the MCPS high schools offer better course progression and choice for a highly academic kid, as well as athletics, and are better than the schools you have listed from an academic standpoint and have a higher number of kids who are on the highest academic "track". Of those four I would go with Landon or Prep, but again some publics in this area are better.[/quote]
