This is a good topic. I'd like to hear from more parents about what it is specifically they liked about their experience with current or past private schools.
After someone mentioned a specific Prince George's County private school above I was reminded that I have a resource that might be of value to moms and dads here. Back in 1997 I created what was then the only comprehensive list on the web of public and private schools in PG County. It's at:
http://www.wright-house.com/education/PG-schools.html
Some of the information is up-to-date, but some sections are quite out-of-date. Nevertheless, there are a lot of links to web sites of schools that (presumably) have current information, and since the whole list is on one page, some people might find it a handy resource.
Try going to the web site of a school you're interested in. Especially for private schools, where they have almost complete freedom in how they do their web sites, it can say a lot about a school just looking at the way they present themselves.
