[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Feel free to comment/critique: I have the following impression of the strong clusters in Montgomery County (BCC, Ws, etc.): privates tend to better, on average, for the lower grades (smaller classes, more enrichment, more time for play, focus on social skills). But for high school, the public IB/AP programs are much stronger than all but a handful of the very best privates. Thoughts?[/quote]

That's the conclusion I came to for "my" kid.  Plus we can't afford the big 3 types of private schools for high school.  Maybe Catholic like Good Counsel if we need to stay private for some reason.   We are in the Wootton cluster and just needed something smaller for my child in these early years.  So we picked a small private school instead.  We will reevaluate as we go along.    I have followed a bunch of former daycare kids from my child's daycare, who have gone to about 10 different elementary schools around the county this year for kindergarten.  Interestingly, the ones in lower-performing clusters have had the best experiences in kindergarten.  Much smaller classes seems to be their common strength.  All anecdotal of course, but I find it interesting.   [/quote]
