[quote=Anonymous]The MoCo publics don't offer much more than DCPS.  They've been coasting on hype for years.  If you really need to switch, stay put and try and do private.  I can't speak to NoVa schools.

My kids are in private - and I'm sacrificing a lot to keep them there.  But what I get in return is priceless.  I'm not gunning for HYP, I'm trying to give them a fabulous and solid foundation and a great education NOW.  They are in ES, MS, and HS. They love school and are totally invested in their own success.  We tried public and it was a major fail for all the reasons PPs have listed.  Part of it is my kids -  some kids will do well in any environment.  They thrive with the individual attention, the extra curriculars, the access to great facilities, the safety, and the freedom to think critically and be held accountable in a respectful, positive fashion.  FWIW, they are all in different schools, because they are all very different kids.  But what they are getting could never be replicated in a public school.  [/quote]
