If you are in IB Einstein is great. These same kids would be middle of the pack at WJ. But, they stand out at Einstein and it looks better for colleges. Metal detectors and kids brandishing firearms on DL zooms. Sure, every school has its issues. Some more than others.
Metal detectors? What are you talking about?
In 2018, MCPS found that Baltimore City was the only school district in MD with metal detectors. There are none in MCPS.

Funny how people ignore all the bad things at rich schools.
Pp said “ sure every school has its issues” maybe you didn’t see that part.
Einstein has no more issues than the rich schools, which far more make the news in terms of bad things.

No, not how it works. Smart kids will do well anywhere. Having gone to that school there is nothing special but uptight parents and kids who think they are rich and pretend to be down to earth.
non IB Eisnstein parent?
No very smart kid heading to Einstein in a few years.
ok, so no personal experience then.
Many friends and neighbors very happy there which was a factor in why we didn't move.

Yes, you are right.
I would guess that 80%+ of Einstein families have an HHI of less than $250,000. I have 2 there, and of course it is hard to know exactly what people earn, but, I think there are very few at $250,000+
Nope, you got us all wrong. Good try. Even at $250k we could afford t move and choose not to.

This is an overwhelming positive for many of us, you know.
