[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] We turned down a "top 3" private for a magnet. We don't know how things would have gone in the private school, but we certainly haven't regretted turning down the private school. We know several other families that have made the same choice - for example, we know a total of 3-4 families who have turned down Sidwell for a top public programs. So I guess I'd say the IB/magnet/AP programs are, in some cases, equal to or better than the top privates.[/quote]
