[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=pbraverman][quote=Anonymous]Completely disagree with Peter.  Our kids did MCPS for elementary and it was fine . Our middle school experience at a big 3 was light years better than friends' kids had at MCPS and the high school was even better.  I think elementary is where you should save the $$$ and invest in middle and then high school.  If you have to choose I'd send them to private in middle.[/quote]

I'm not sure we disagree. My only point is that I sense most people begin by assuming that the upper grades are a better, ahem, investment, without considering the "inverse" approach. I mean only to encourage people to consider that, as there is a case to be made for either path, and reasonable parents can certainly do it either way.

It does seem we agree that[b] middle school is not the gem in the crown of most public school systems[/b].[/quote]

That's also true of independent schools.  Caveat emptor.  [/quote]

Not in our experience.

We had great ES in public and private, but private MS was miles ahead better than public.

So much that I felt guilty for having sent our first kid to public.[/quote]
