[quote=Anonymous]OP, Send your kid to public until 2nd and move them to private from 3-8th. They build neighborhood friends, but when the learning and absorbing really needs to kick in, but doesn’t - get them out. We did it with #2 and 3 and the difference is night and day. The love of learning, field trips, outdoor classes on nice days, only one day of testing all year, a lot of art, science, hands on, etc.... Class sizes were maxed at 15, even in middle school. I am sorry I didn’t do this for my first. It was worth the cost. We did get some financial aid. High school can go either way. Enough AP and other classes to appease them. #2 went to public, #3 begged to stay private. Even though private was better, the difference wasn’t nearly as substantial as late ES and MS. It is just awful at MCPS and #1 did HGC and it still sucked compared to private. But all private’s are not equal. Look for secular college prep schools. Good luck! [/quote]
