[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes, moved to MCPS for high school.  The impact on our family has been amazing, other than I kick myself for not moving to public earlier.  In our case it's not about the money, although saving $35k a year is a major plus, but about the fit.  It happens to be a great fit for this child.  A nice by product is that we are more involved in the neighborhood/comunity than we ever were when we were commuting to DC for school.  I don't think you can predict now what will be appropriate in 8-10 years, I certainly couldn't have done it at K, so the key is to be flexible and see what works for your kid at different points.[/quote]

Can you say what private school you left? Did you or DH go to private? Why is it a better fit?[/quote]

One parent went to an elite private school and the other public. The school is a better fit because it is bigger and with plenty of compatible kids, has very challenging classes and a lot of advanced options, competitive sports, and more normal families. Of course that combo definitely does not work for everyone. [/quote]
