[quote=Anonymous]If you really won't send your child to the local public school, start researching the Montgomery County school transfer policy. It is possible to transfer your children to another public school in the county but you'll need a reason other than not liking the principal and teacher at the assigned school. I know several people who have gotten transfers so their children could take a bus after school to their long-time babysitter or a grandparent. I went through a couple level of appeals, but I got my child transferred from one elementary school to another. (My child was attending our home school and it wasn't working out.) There are also language immersion programs at the elementary school level that have a lottery for enrollment, although I think to transfer into those programs after grade 1 the student needs to have some background in the language.

If you must send your child to private school, what about Catholic school? You do not have to be Catholic to send your child to a Catholic school and they are generally less expensive than other private schools.

You're not doing your child any favors if you end up in depth and unable to help her with college and other expenses as she gets older. Really, the most important thing is the individual teacher. Can you try the school and see if you like the teacher your child gets? It's a lot easier to transfer classrooms than schools. [/quote]
