[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]my kids went to Blake and Paint branch. yes, there were some kids that had behavioral issues but there were many kids that were motivated and did the best they could coming from homes that would fail under dcum standards. my daughter's best friend is now going to Princeton and another friend is going to Duke. my daughter is in her 2nd year at Boston U and doing great. My son is at Vanderbilt and is doing exceptionally well. All of his friends are attending colleges. Both of these schools have higher populations of AA. my kids are white and although they did experience some racism, they ignored it and eventually it stopped. All this to say is dont rule out eastern county schools based on what you read here.[/quote]

It really helps illustrate how the same kids can do similarly (well) at any MCPS school. The only differences are small demographic ones that impact averages. Whether one school has an extra section of AP English and another an extra section of remedial math doesn't really impact individual outcomes. [/quote]
