[quote=Anonymous]This is kind of a spinoff of the private elementary vs. high school thread. DS is currently in a private k-8, which has been wonderful. Continuing on to private high school would be a financial stretch for us, and may well make private college impossible. We're in Montgomery County, but not in a "top" school zone (high school is 6 GS rating), which was part of the initial decision to go private. So which do you think is better - stay private and assume DS is headed to UMD (which I do think is a great public university) or make the best of public high school (with APs, etc.) and save the money to increase college options (with full recognition that top private colleges are a crapshoot for admission anyway)? I'm really torn about which is the best use of our education dollars. I know there's also the magnet programs, but don't want to count on admission to those either. Thanks for your thoughts![/quote]
