[quote=Anonymous]I do believe that $2000/year is not a bad price to pay for what we are getting, and to answer your question, yes our neighborhood school is that bad and has been slotted for closure in past. Some parents spend thousands to get their kids through to high school years for what I believe is the same value offered by CPA. I think that the test scores are a good measure of the value that is being received as well as what and how my kid is learning. She is as comfortable with powerpoint and word and excel as some of the college interns that come to work for with us in the Summers. The hope is also that the college credits earned while in high school will reduce the cost of college by about 2 years (approx. $25K/year=$50K at an instate school like Maryland or $45K/year=R$90K out of state). Also, I feel that the chances of getting scholarships/grants may be greater, if CPA is as successful as the middle college where 100% of the graduates in June 2015 were afforded scholarships and grants for higher education. Finally, it is hard to find a diverse non-private school environment in Prince George's County if one does not live in certain areas of the County. [/quote]
