Exactly. MCPS teaches from a critical social justice perspective. So every lesson is infused with this garbage.

Wait until you find what perspective a Catholic school teaches from!

For very high achieving kids, I would choose MCPS magnet, at least at the HS level.

And it's difficult to get into the HS magnets without the rigor of elite ES and MS classes in MCPS.

Funny!

HS magnets don't have entrance exams. The only thing public MS does to help with magnet admissions is grade inflation so everyone gets an A and qualifies.

Private school if you have the funds yes. Private catholic school maybe not depending on the school. Our neighbors send their kids to catholic school and their 6th grader said their math is similar to what my 4th grader is doing, so you should check on the quality/rigor of math instruction. And their catholic school also has big class sizes like MCPS.
