[quote=Anonymous]I only have real experience in MCPS but here are my thoughts: 1. Depends a lot on how advanced and what age. GT in MCPS is much more limited than AAP in NoVa. GT is great if your kid is at that level. The plus of that is that the good base schools in MCPS remain pretty strong because most of the smart kids are still there. But if AAP is important than NoVa is a better bet. My kids are too old for Curriculum 2.0 but some people on this board seem to hate it. 2. For HS, if your kid is math science oriented, TJ is a great option and while it's super competitive it has more spots than Blair Magnet in MCPS (which only has about 100/grade). There are various IB programs in MCPS (some selective like RM, some not like BCC) and in NoVa. I think beyond that it is very school, rather than school system based. Langley and McLean and Whitman and Churchill are probably pretty comparable. But there are plenty of weaker HSs on both sides of the river.[/quote]
