[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]NP: what are these "w" schools people keep referencing[/quote]

The W schools are the good high schools in MCPS. I can’t remember all of them (we are in one, the Whitman cluster), but they are usually in the wealthier parts of MoCo.

We have had our kids in public and private.

Agree that the public’s here are outstanding and your kid can thrive. We have lots of friends whose kids are thriving. However, if your kids has any sort of struggles, i don’t think they larger system is prepared to accommodate them. We are wealthy, well-educated, and involved and one of my kids was not doing well at our highly regarded ES. We pulled them into private and now thriving.

All our kids are now heading to private - paying four tuitions next year. I think only one of our four kids really “needs” private school, but they all love it and we can afford the tuition.

The irony is that we probably would have bought a house in DC if we had known we were going to send the kids to private schools - we bought in our specific neighborhood for the schools. [/quote]
