[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We're just finishing out K in Mcps in a "top ranked" school. We applied to and committed to a private for next year for 1st. Dd needed smaller classes, more enrichment, and like many pps stated, a push to "do her best" that private will offer. I wasn't impressed by anything in Mcps - teachers, admin, facilities, peer group, curriculum. I could go on. [/quote] Omg it’s kindergarten [/quote] Agree. Kids don’t learn much vastly different K-3 in public or private because you have to ensure the base level foundation for all kids. People are often surprised to discover this later on.[/quote] MCPS magnet high schools are really good, but you have to hold your nose and deal with the mediocrity, lack of enrichment or challenging work, etc. until then. [/quote] My MCPS kid was in magnet all but 2 years from K-12. You just need to know your options.[/quote] Good for you but my post didn’t say that there are no magnet options in early years. I know my options, thank you. Magnet high schools are good. The rest - CES, MS magnets, etc. are mediocre at best. [/quote] No private MS school can come close to TPMS, Clemento when it comes to STEM. None can touch Eastern when it comes to humanities, writing and public speaking. In fact, they cannot even compete regular schools like with Hoover, Frost, Cabin Jones, SSIM, Pyle etc... in general. If these schools are mediocre at best, I feel sorry for the state of private MS: they are abysmal.[/quote]
