[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Everyone we know from work downtown who lives in Takoma Park send their kids to private school for grades 9-12. And some pretty impressive ones at that:[/quote]

Maybe they live in Takoma DC. Few families on the MD send kids to privates. Some home school, though. I live & teach here.[/quote]

+1 It does happen but it is pretty uncommon[/quote]

+2 I live here too.  Very few go to private school.  In fact very nice to have all the kids in the neighborhood go to the same school, magnet or not.  I also don’t know anyone unhappy with the schools.[/quote]

+3 I have a pretty good sense of the kids in my neighborhood, either as peers of my children, babysitters, or kids of friends. I know two families at prestigious private schools, but both of them have parents who teach at their respective schools. I also know a few homeschooling families, but get the strong impression they would homeschool no matter where they were. That is, they live in TP because they homeschool; they don't homeschool because they live in TP. The rest of the kids are all in local public schools, some in language immersion because there are three immersion programs in close proximity, but most at the normal local public schools.
