[quote=Anonymous]This is very school dependent—that goes for mcps and private. We’ve done both for our three DCs. We moved each of the kids in late elementary when the combination of overcrowding and zero interest in challenging our students became unbearable. Our kids are quiet students who get their work done and perform well so they were largely ignored or used as teacher assistants. Our experience at private has been mixed—certainly not a perfect antedote to mcps—but I do appreciate the nimbleness of the administration (very appararent during Covid) in response to parents, that teachers know my kids, and that honors classes are really honors classes. Will money spent at private school “translate” to Ivy acceptance? I highly doubt that, but that was never our intention. I do however think they will be better prepared for college because there is no skating by or grade inflation and the teachers/school hold them accountable. [/quote]
