[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Their website is currently down but just google non-resident tuition later tonight or tomorrow when the site is back up. [b]I think it's around $18k. [/b]You are not able to attend an overcrowded school, which covers several of the high schools bordering DC (like BCC and Whitman).[/quote]

For that, you could afford some privates/parochials--that's what we pay for ours (not one of the Big 3s, obviously, which are more like 35-40K).  Don't think I'd want MCPS with their overcrowded classrooms, 2.0 curriculum mess, etc.  We'd gladly go back to our IB Deal feeder before MCPS.[/quote]

Sounds like you used to be in DCPS, but now have chosen private.  [b]So it sounds like your knowledge of MCPS comes primarily from DCUM[/b].[/quote]

PP here, you're right. :)  If it brings you any comfort, we would never do VA schools, since we'd much rather live in MoCo than VA, if given the choice.  We used to live inbound for one of the "Ws" in MoCo, but that was before kids were school-aged.

We are in private for now, but may head back to DCPS for middle and/or high school, depending on how things go.  That decision is still a few years away.[/quote]

I can’t imagine moving to MCPS if you have the Deal then Wilson option. [/quote]

I can’t imagine sending my kids to deal or Wilson. So we are even. They are good for DC which is not the same thing as good. The only reason Wilson’s graduation rate went up from 71% a few years ago is they stopped making attendance necessary for poor kids to graduate. You keep you APs up you will be ok but for the rest of the kids DC diplomas mean you didn’t get locked up (for too long) before the age of 18. Little else[/quote]
