[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Because I'm not seeing better outcomes  for kids in parochial/private. My neice and her friends who were in private didn't get accepted at colleges that were better than kids in public. Why would I pay $25K a year for my kid to get accepted to Catholic University or Delaware? [/quote]

We had a babysitter who graduated from Visi and went to Clemson. My neighbor graduated from MCPS (non magnet) and went to Clemson also. 
This point is what keeps me from moving my kids. Can’t imaging paying a so much $$ for no guaranteed outcome, or at least the same outcome
You can get for free. 
That, and they’re 15 and 13. Might as well just finish out now. [/quote]
Parochial schools serve a purpose. If you live in Hyattsville and have low housing costs or you live in Brightwood and had a bad charter lottery, parochial would be an excellent option. It would also be a good option for certain types of kids that really need structure and a disciplined environment.

I’m not sure though it makes a lot of sense if you live in North Bethesda or something similar and you kid can navigate large school environments and can cope with some distraction. [/quote]
