[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Catholic schools are the way to go. [/quote]
Maybe.  
Even highly regarded Catholic schools like Holy Cross or Good Counsel have median SAT scores around 1700 which is lower than Wootton, Churchill and Whitman (all with median SAT scores around 1850).  Walter Johnson, BCC and RM also do better with median SAT scores around 1750.
Gonzaga does very well and is probably comparable to the top public high schools in the area[/quote]

Holy Cross and Good Counsel are not among the most highly regarded Catholic schools. And Catholic schools don't teach to the test. My son, who scored in the 89th% on PSAT, has a C average in a well regarded Catholic school. [/quote]
Any elite private school (Catholic or non Catholic) might well be a better option than a MCPS public school but the earlier poster suggested that catholic schools were superior and I’ m saying I don’t think that is the case 
Also there is no prep for SAT exams in MCPS high schools. [/quote]
