[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It is abundantly clear to me that 11:43 is comparing the very best MoCo magnet schools to middle-of-the-pack private schools -- if 11:43 has indeed really had a child in a private school past Kindergarten at all.  (11:43's assessment of, say, takoma park magnet does sound about right)

Those of us with an older tween or teen in Holton, gds or Sidwell don't think that the language and science and math piece "levels out" and becomes par with, say, Westland MS or BCC, as 11:43 suggests.   [/quote]

Um, if your DD is at Holton, how do you *know* this about public schools?  Didn't OP saying something about people criticizing things they are ignorant about?

Objectively, we can compare course offerings at area publics and privates. In fact, the publics are more likely to have math beyond AP Calc, for example, and broader science offerings. You might have a point about smaller class sizes at the privates, but the publics are more likely to have certified teachers.[/quote]

Off topic but I think AP is a total scam.  I'd like to see the stats on the number of universities that actually give credit and the number of kids that actually score high enough on the AP exam to qualify for that credit.  [/quote]
