[quote=Anonymous]We continued with the public schools. My 11th grader is at Eleanor Roosevelt High School. She's happy and doing well there. It's not perfect. It has all the problems you would expect in a big, urban high school. The academics are generally pretty good, though. The English instruction is fair to middling at best. For her, peer pressure means pressure to take more AP classes.

My younger kid is finishing TAG at Greenbelt Middle. I'm not thrilled with it. It's not that the school is bad, but rather that I doubt that the academics are any better than the usual classes.

If you are thinking about private school for academic reasons, remember that you can always keep your kid in public school and hire a tutor/work with the kid at home if he or she has trouble in a subject or needs more challenge. It's cheaper than tuition!

The one thing that I have loved about all the public schools my white kids have attended is all the friends they have made from different cultures and socioeconomic circumstances. [/quote]
