[quote=Anonymous]Currently have dc in a Big 3, a K-8 Catholic and a MCPS elementary, which makes me an unusual parent. All 3 started in public. The kid in Big 3 insisted on applying there, and only there, after comparing her friends experiences at public HS options. She is very happy there. The classes are very challenging, but she enjoys that. Second child, was not doing well in public, and was very interested in sports. We are  not Catholic, but we heard good things about our local Catholic. She was immediately accepted socially and became a sports standout. Grades improved. We love the ethos that all God's children are valuable, not just those bound for the Ivies. Also the school devotes more time to arts than public and doesn't waste a lot of time on standardize testing. She did well on SSAT and is applying both Catholic and Big 3 for HS. Youngest is at local elementary and loves it. He is outgoing and gets lots of positive feedback. Just took the Highly Gifted test, but says doesn't want to leave friends. all 3 are happy and we are happy. I am sure they will  each find a good fit at a good college and enjoy that too. [/quote]
