[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Where can you afford to live? What is your budget? What is the point of talking about anything without knowing your budget?[/quote]

OP here. Budget not an issue. [/quote]

Then send your kid to private.[/quote]

Thanks. We are looking at all the options. What’s your attitude about? [/quote]

OP:  You should read the MANY threads about the MoCo magnets program and decide for yourself about attitudes.  You should also take into account the fact that this forum is a tiny sliver of the MoCo community, and that anonymous posts allow people to say pretty much whatever they want.  All that said, if you have a truly gifted child, and budget is not an issue, a good private school may be the least stressful way of ensuring an appropriate educational program for your child.  (Full disclosure - Our DC is in MoCo schools, but currently in a regional CES, with which we have been very happy.  It's not "ruined" by any stretch.)  But consider whether your budget is truly not an issue, because today's WaPo noted that the tuition at St. Albans (a good all-boys school in DC) is between $45-65K a year, and last I looked, that's not an outlier for the top private schools in the area.[/quote]
