+1 lots of kids in public still wear a mask in MCPS. Not sure about elsewhere.

If you were to keep your kid in private, how is the K-12 path? You said money wasn't an issue, but put the expense is in the cons column, so you are clearly seeing the extra expense as something.  Is the cost of HS tuition the same or higher?   How does the expense impact other things like 529 and retirement?

For us, we could easily afford $30K in tuition, but we don't have family money, nor are we uber rich, so this would lower our retirement contribution by a quarter, which we don't want to do.  But if we felt that DC absolutely needed smaller class sizes and individual attention, we would do it.

You said the 3rd grade curriculum seems more advanced than public school, but what about MS and HS?  From what I gather, STEM in public is stronger than in private at the HS level, depending on where you are.[/quote]
