[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]These kids have to go to private school somewhere. Most families do not want to schlep across the bridge to DC or MD. That leaves a small handful of private high schools for these kids. So why are Potomac, Madeira, Episcopal, etc always either dismissed or treated with disdain? These schools have incredible facilities, academics and college placement. What's up with the MD and DC snobbery? And don't tell me they're all in FCPS, because that is just not true. FCPS is just as bad as MCPS or DCPS.[/quote] Sorry, your premise is wrong. FCPS is not “just as bad” as DCPS for academic kids. There is exactly one (1) section of post-AP math in all of DCPS. So yes, DC kids are much more likely to go private for purely academic reasons than Fairfax kids. Which makes the north-of-the-Potomac privates academically stronger. [/quote]
