[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I posted this on the other thread OP had on this topic, but I would only consider an independent Catholic. Independent schools are more rigorous and have a much stronger curriculum. Compared with a regular, church-subsidized school, the academic experience in MCPS is stronger, warts and all.[/quote]alk Honestly, I have heard mixed reports on this. First of all, there are few independent K-8 schools. HS level, yes, many independents. My student attended a top Catholic independent K-12 for HS. She attended a parochial K-8 for elementary and middle school. We found that academically she was far ahead of most of the students who moved up to the HS within the K-12 independent. I have also heard that other expensive independent Catholic schools in the lower grades are just not worth the money. You can get the same if better academics at the right Parish K-8 school. We saved tens of thousands of dollars taking this route.[/quote]
