[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My child is in Catholic school here in Montgomery County.

We always planned to move locally for middle school or high school but we must make a decision within the year.

I know very little about local high schools since my child is still a few years away. However, if we are picking a neighborhood for the middle school and high school, I might as well find out all I can.

Why is BCC not mentioned as a "top" high school in Maryland or Montgomery County? I have no reason to select it over others but the area did seem appealing in terms of places to buy a home and I'm wondering why the high school is never mentioned with the W schools?

BCC is a lovely high school with many high achieving graduates.  It is not mentioned with the other so-called W schools because it has more than a handful of Black/Latinx kids, and slightly more economic diversity than the Ws.

Despite the "urban" in the name, DCUM skews very heavily upper class, white, and suburban.  The kinds of folks that move to all white enclaves and then look down their noses at a school like BCC.  Honestly, it isn't our zoned HS, but is IS the one I would choose in OP's thought exercise. [/quote]
