[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OK, if but if you don't live in Upper NW and your academically advanced kid doesn't crack Walls, or maybe Banneker, attending DCPS for high school is generally a disaster.  I'm not convinced that most of the kids at all the private schools in this area are douchebags.  Many kids at private schools in this city would surely attend public if our public schools were on a par with the better programs in neighboring jurisdictions. My nieces and nephews in N VA seem to attend public high schools that are twice as good as J-R and Walls in every respect.  [/quote]

This.  Some people just don’t accept the reality that the “best”  schools in this town is mediocre at best.   Also that best in terms of rigor is degrading in the name of equity as can be seen by honors for all at JR and no test in at Walls.

You can choose to go DCPS and not private or move to the burbs but don’t kid yourself that your kid is getting anything close to the experiences these other kids are getting.  [/quote]
