Anyone plan on public HS after private Es and/or MS?

Your DS has a higher chance of making varsity at a larger public? I think the opposite is typically true in MCPS.

WCAC schools only want the best of the best, but if he wants playing time he could do so at a private that doesn't have a good basketball team.
