This.

OP, I don't know if you every look at the pubic school forums here, but most public schools are a hot mess. Lots of grade inflation, large class sizes, etc. Your child is young, and this is the time to make the switch and it sounds like money is not an issue for you. If private doesn't work out for whatever reason, you can always go back to public school or find another private school. But know that the reason you kid is doing well is not necessarily because he is bright.  It may very well be that he is bright, but the school is not challenging him, likely because of equity. Leave now while it is an easy transition. It gets more difficult in the later years and they will fall behind with the lax curriculum.

You were so close and then you told on yourself by pointing to “equity” as the boogeyman. Thanks for letting everyone know you’re a racist tool who can easily be ignored.

And for the OP, my kids have attended four different public schools, K-12, in FCPS. Not a single one was a “hot mess” and in many cases the class sizes were smaller than the class sizes at two private schools near us (class size info told to me by parents who have kids at the private schools). It really all comes down the specific schools you are considering. And if you want to consider one other data point, ask both the public and private high school for a list of where kids graduating in 2023 went to college. [/quote]
