[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Pp here. I realize you are looking for gifted programs. I just went through touring privates and we moved to McLean for their top schools not long ago. In my personal opinion, the best schools for the best students are as follows:

1. FCPS TJ
2. Big 3 Private - Sidwell, STA, NCS
3. MCPS - Richard Montgomery Magnet
4. Second tier Privates - Holton, Maret
4. MCPS - W schools
5. FCPS top schools - McLean, Langley, Oakton, Marshall

Like you said, it's your opinion but it is deeply wrong. 
Also OP said "especially in math/STEM", the [b]private schools are nowhere near the top.[/b][/quote]

Privates can't compete with public magnets. [/quote]

National merit data says that 10% of finalists in Northern Virginia come from non-publics- proportionately somewhat more. In DC, a large majority of finalists are private, which is wildly disproportionate. All but one of the DC public kids (6) went to the School Without Walls magnet; Sidwell Friends was in second place, with 5. [/quote]
