[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]BCC or Walter Johnson Pyramid has strong, involved black families and students. [/quote] +1 These will be the two schools that I will recommend. Academics are strong and they are both diverse. I will caution sending an AA boy to any of the low performing high schools in Montgomery County because of the negative social influences at those particular schools. Leaving DC for Montgomery County only to attend a MCPS that is on the same level or in some cases worst than a DCPS will be a waste of money IMO. [b] However, as a UMC black parent I will choose private in this area.[/b] The public schools just do not fare well for many high achieving AA students. The public schools in the DC area have too many pitfalls. If you have the money, then go private instead. If not, then BCC and Walter Johnson will suffice. [/quote] Now that is a waste of money. AA in MCPS score higher in AP tests than anywhere in the nation. [/quote] Where can I find this info??[/quote]
