[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Some of the hater posts seem to be written by thesame person...but here is my take:

You don't see that many private schools in MoCo for the simple reason that the public system is indeed, on a high level, excellent. If there was a need for privates or charters you would see it look more like DC, where well over 50% of families choose against public. In MoCo something like 90% are public (I think it is on MCPS website but someone else can use google here.)

For some families, obviously the religious aspects is important. For others, in HS, sports are a consideration. And smaller class sizes are important of course also.

FWIW, if you look at Fairfax also (similarly quality school system, and similar size) there also are not a lot of independant schools. And it's because of a lack of demand, not a lack of income among residents.[/quote]

Are you kidding me? There are a TON of private schools in MoCo, especially in the Potomac and Bethesda area.  [/quote]
