[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My son is in MCPS and my daughter is in private.  Both kids are attending the schools that best meet their needs.

My daughter is a B average student.  She's the kid that get lost in the big classes.  She's not a high flyer and she doesn't need support.  She could shirk into the background.  She attends an all girls school with smaller classes.  She is forced to participate in class.  Her teachers know her well and work with her to both challenge and support her.

My son is thriving in MCPS but he's a high flyer.  He gets the benefit of the magnet programs.[/quote]
This would be us, except we opted to not put our DD in private school because they are now almost done with HS. But, IMO, they could've used smaller class sizes.

Older DC, total high flyer, in a magnet program, straight As.  Didn't find the magnet program all that challenging, either, but they had a sizeable peer group of high achieving kids. Took MVC in HS, and aced it, including the UMD MVC exam.  I don't think any private around here could compete with the local magnets in having a large high achieving peer cohort.[/quote]
