[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Depends what you need. For the sciences, the publics are better than most privates. For special needs and kids who need a smaller classroom environment, private school would likely be more nurturing than MCPS. But beware of the restrictions many private schools have...needing to have As to take AP classes which knocks out perfectly decent B+ kids and restrictions on where and how many colleges a kid can apply to. I wouldn't pay a ton of money to have a school restrict my kids' choices.[/quote] Private better for sciences.[/quote] I know. There is a poster who is obsessed with the Intel competition as a measure of quality science instruction. It is true that most privates require the kid to do several hours of sports each day, along with placing a lot of emphasis on writing and reading. This does preclude specialization in robotics, etc. but the science instruction is top-notch.[/quote] Not when compared to the best MCPS has to offer.[/quote] What percentage of kids in MCPS get "the best that MCPS has to offer?"[/quote]
