[quote=Anonymous]Your neighbors are "meh" about their public schools because you live in a expensive neighborhood, OP, and likely have high salaries and certain luxury expectations. At that rate, no public will satisfy you and you're better off trying to get your kids into one of the top private schools. I live in an expensive neighborhood near downtown Bethesda, where half of the families send their kids to privates, and I know what I'm getting by sticking to MCPS: I get full services for one of my kids who has special needs; I keep my kids grounded in the real world, despite their socio-economic bubble; my kids are in all advanced classes, and one of them is 3 levels ahead in math, which is only possible in MCPS, compared to surrounding school systems; and since these are large publics, they have a better shot at selective colleges than in small privates where half the kids are alumni of said colleges, and therefore have a hook my kids don't have.
