[quote=Anonymous]DCPS is a huge, terrible mess. There really is no other appropriate description, OP. The elementaries are good in NW, because parents there are wealthy and educated, but it goes downhill from there fast. MCPS is considered to be one of the top public school systems in the nation, and also one of the largest, which means there will be some unevenness. While being vastly different from DCPS at the middle and high school level, it doesn't mean education there is superb, because the US is sadly not in the top group of nations with the best education systems. The privates aren't great either (ie, they focus on extras like athletics instead of paying their teachers more, which means that they're not $40k a year better than publics). Between them, the choice is a no-brainer. You also need to parent your child adequately at home, enrich and fill in what you think might be lacking at school. [/quote]
