[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We're just finishing out K in Mcps in a "top ranked" school. We applied to and committed to a private for next year for 1st.

Dd needed smaller classes, more enrichment, and like many pps stated, a push to "do her best" that private will offer.

I wasn't impressed by anything in Mcps - teachers, admin, facilities, peer group, curriculum. I could go on.

Omg it’s kindergarten [/quote]

Agree.  Kids don’t learn much vastly different K-3 in public or private because you have to ensure the base level foundation for all kids.  People are often surprised to discover this later on.[/quote]

MCPS magnet high schools are really good, but you have to hold your nose and deal with the mediocrity, lack of enrichment or challenging work, etc. until then. [/quote]

My MCPS kid was in magnet all but 2 years from K-12. You just need to know your options.[/quote]

Good for you but my post didn’t say that there are no magnet options in early years. I know my options, thank you.  Magnet high schools are good. The rest - CES, MS magnets, etc. are [b]mediocre at best. [/b][/quote]

+1 and I'm the pp that said we're moving our Ker out of Mcps after this year...we're also moving DC ASAP so that she can make friends and adjust socially in the new community.

Ofc we're aware of the options (grew up here so are probably even further dialed in that snarky "know your options" pp)...and know that the option also includes a swap out of current social group/school in our case. Also agree that those options are mediocre.[/quote]
