[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We are in bounds for one of those two, but really live pretty equidistant between them.  My kid is a 7th grader in a K-8 private, so most of what I hear chatter about is private, but I think public will work better.

He's very musical kid.  He likes singing, and playing a brass instrument, and doing musical theater. Any thoughts on how to choose which one to rank first?

Also, I know that if he ranks the one that is in bounds for us first, he's guaranteed a slot.  If he ranks it second, and doesn't get his first choice, is he also guaranteed a slot?

Are there other schools we should be considering?[/quote]

Personally, I would stick with private  It may not be the best fit but, Montgomery county is really not a great place right now!  My kid was in bounds for Blair but, we asked for Northwood so she got that.  Then she got into private and based on her experience in middle school we decided that we would go private and for us it was a better decision.  We have friends who sent kids to both Einstein, Northwood and Blair and have heard that while some kids do well there are others that fall though the crack and have horrible experiences.  Think heavy drug use.

If I were you I would think long and hard before I sent my loved one to any Montgomery county public school![/quote]
