[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Math in private k-8 won't be anywhere close to MCPS. Private HS might have legit math teachers...or not. It's a gamble.

Catholic elementary schools provide a solid foundation on all subjects...which mcps cannot.

Hindsight being 20/20: K-8 in private school equips kids for success in advanced classes in HS.[/quote]

+2. We went from mcps to private and now back to mcps. The level of academics at k-5 in private was years behind public - especially for advanced students. My kid went down reading and math levels. It may be different in later grades.

Certainly not in math [/quote]

Not in math for an advanced student.  K-5, Catholics offer more in terms of the foundation, especially if they still teach spelling, grammar and more but come MS, they don't have enough students to offer multiple classes.[/quote][/quote]
Seems private is great at teaching to the majority of average to above average students but not as good at teaching to very advanced or very behind students.

At the least, large publics around here have magnet type programs.  IMO, one of the only good things about large publics.[/quote]
