[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Because the MCPS math magnets offer far more than any private can.[/quote] Agree. Not specific to MCPS, but we’ve done something similar. Kids went to private through middle school, and are very bright and accelerated learners. We switched to public this year and have been pleased. Our public schools are terrible in general, BUT there are some amazing programs for academically advanced kids that are far superior to what our private schools offer. If my kids couldn’t get accepted to these programs, I would stay private. Taking advantage of these amazing programs plus other leadership opportunities that are readily available at an under preforming high school (because of low general interest/participation), I feel my kids are getting top STEM classes plus some great experiences and opportunities to shine that would be otherwise hard to have access to in a more competitive environment.
