[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think it should be noted that I have seen from BCC many examples of kids from poor, immigrant families who have been elevated by going to school with motivated white kids. All of such kids in my DD’s elementary school class who graduated from BCC last year are now at UMD. All are first in their families to go to college. It’s really really nice to see.
I know people like these stories but don’t want it at the cost of their child’s education. That didn’t happen. My DD is at a great college and I think going to a school with such a big socio-economic mix was good for her.[/quote]

So, if we are an international, educated family here, but not wealthy in DC-terms, my kid should do just fine, right? We were  contemplating between Pyle/Whitman and Westland/BCC, but wanted a more economically diverse school population and hoping the IB program will be a good option. [/quote]

Pick Pyle/Whitman. If you are international and educated, your child has the cultural capital and behaviors that will make that cluster work for them. BCC is not a bad school, but there is so much to deal with that you can save yourself the trouble.[/quote]

Whitman has even more “trouble” to “deal with” when it comes to lack of inclusivity, drugs and alcohol, affluenza, etc.[/quote]
