[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Let’s please let the OP or whomever have this and shut this thread down.  For some reason they will not believe that in this area there are plenty of folks that can afford private school and yet still send their kids to public school.  Nor plenty of kids leave MCPS prepared for college and then go onto lead normal happy healthy lives. [/quote]
+1  How is that Whitman and Churchill are full if every wealthy person chooses to put their kids in private?  Sure, not everyone in those neighborhoods are uber wealthy, but if you look at the median income in those zip codes, [b]there are enough families that *could* afford to send their kids to private.[/b]

I know some pretty wealthy families who send their kids to MCPS. [/quote]

Enough to what, exactly?

You need something like $180k pretax income to pay $100k post tax on private school, for a UMC family. For a pretty dang wealthy family making $500k/yr, that would be over 1/3 of their income!

So obviously while maybe a lot of these families could barely squeak it out with very major sacrifices, no, even the UMC families cannot really afford it. The fiction that there are so so many MCPS families who just love public so much, and it isn't because really they can't afford it, is just that, a fiction.
