[quote=Anonymous]In Montgomery County, Blair had 53 national merit scholarship finalists last year, and Richard Montgomery had 28. That's intense competition for the top at these schools. My kids have done public and private, and I just can't accept the notion that public kids are somehow "less" in terms of ability. What the have less of is money, for sure. In terms of quality of education, there may be a point about many (not all) privates being superior to most publics. But you can't even make sweeping generalizations about that. One of my kids did immersion, is now fluent, and is in a math/science magnet - I wouldn't switch that for any DC private, even the best ones. [/quote]
