[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As for schools, there is no perfect school, but unless you are in TN or AL, your public school is going to be just fine if your kids are reasonably studious and you stay engaged as a parent. My kid did private preK-8 and is now at a [b]MCPS magnet [/b]and doing wonderfully. Thinking about college and maybe law school. She has some terrific teachers and a solid group of friends. She is actually happier at her public, though that may have more to do with her age (adolescence/middle school is rough!)  She has opportunities at her public she would not have at private and has developed good connections with a few of her teachers. Yes, she has some dud teachers, but she did at private school as well. Your kids' success depends mostly on you, not the school they go to. Having money helps...[/quote]

Yes, we think a magnet school would be good, but how do you ensure you will get into one?  Our current school doesn't differentiate really until 11th grade.[/quote]
