[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As a counter to the previous list of a 'bad' school, I would try to avoid a school that:
1.  emphasizes materialism above achievement
2.  has a student body that relies on adhd drugs to get high.  
3.  Has a culture of partying -- drinking in parents houses.
4.  focuses more on presenting a pretty picture rather than substance of the person.

Just a counter to the concern about non-painted walls….[/quote]

I'm the PP that made the list that I think you are referring to, but no where did I state about "non-painted walls". I stated that a bad school was one where the building was falling apart and had mold issues.  Would you want your kid to go to a school where the building was falling apart and had mold issues?  I don't think so.

And I would agree about your list, too, but these aren't obvious things you can see by visiting the school.  FWIW, I don't live in a W cluster.  We chose a different cluster and avoided the W cluster because of some of the issues that I know may exist in a student body that mostly come from wealthy families.  We moved out of a wealthy school district (not MCPS) in part because of some of those kinds of issues in the schools.[/quote]
