[quote=Anonymous]Yes, I can say I am happy with MCPS, having had a 20 year old go through the system with an IEP and significant services and accommodations, and a gifted high schooler who has been allowed to jump start her math and science track. I do not expect schools to be perfect. I am the product of a selective international private myself, and my son briefly spent time in a private elementary. Privates aren't perfect either and if you want the same level of advanced courses, you're looking at a "top" private, which isn't going to be $60K better. At least in public school, you get to invest your money for years before college bites great chunks into it :-)

Now in order to benefit from the "good" public schools, we did buy into a wealthy neighborhood. But I consider that an investment too, because when my kids graduate, we still have the house and its appreciated value, due in large part to the local schools' reputation. My neighborhood is also a 50/50 private/public place, a shift that happened during the pandemic - previously mostly everyone was in the local public. Parents will complain about little things in their schools, but none of the ones I know, post-pandemic, have shifted their kids from one to the other.
