[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DD plays soccer and will be going to a public high school next year. She plays at the national level and misses several school days due to this. She is in the MCPS magnet program. If she gets into the magnet program in high school next year, I am not sure if she can balance academics and sports. Parents whose kids have gone to magnet programs, please share your experiences and if your DC was able to handle both. 
Other alternative would be to send her to a private school. However I have heard that academics in MCPS magnet schools are at a very high level and not comparable to most private schools. If we choose to send her to private schools with good academics, which ones would you recommend? [/quote]

If she is a good student I’d recommend Stone Ridge where Katie Ledecky went. The thing about private school is that you get a very good education but there’s not a lot of busy work assigned. Katie was a great student but also had the time and flexibility to train for the Olympics while attending Stone Ridge. [/quote]
