[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We are thinking of going private for middle school for our son. He is bright (accepted into CES program at MCPS) and we live in northern-ish Montgomery County. DS is a very sweet kid, not outgoing or particularly talented in sports.  Would prefer to stay in MoCo due to the commute.

Any suggestions?[/quote]
At MS you might be better staying in MCPS if you have good options. Based on your stated location, the most rigorous schools near you would be Bullis. St Andrews and Sandy Spring also should be close. If you come down further, you have Prep and Landon. A PP also mentioned Norwood. But that’s a K-8 so it may not be worth coming in just for MS.

There are definite benefits to coming to Norwood for MS.  They do a great job both socially and academically.  Plus, your child would get support from Norwood for HS placement.  Of course, if you are willing to go to a competitive school downtown, I'd apply to those at the same time you apply to Norwood. Not that I think those schools are stronger for MS, just that you might as well make life easier if that's your end goal.[/quote]
