[quote=Anonymous]We were in MCPS and moved to parochial last year -- they were open in-person the entire year. We ended up liking the smaller class sizes and sense of community, but the religious element wasn't the best fit. We moved to a non-denominational private for the coming year and plan to stay that way for the foreseable future. The pandemic really exposed the inner-workings of MCPS management and I just don't have much faith in them being able to handle any issues. Teachers at MCPS were great, but they can't control the BoE and central office. I watched almost every BoE meeting last summer and I never realized the level of incompetency at that level. It only becomes an issue when they are called upon to lead.. like when you have a pandemic. Our kids are young, and I think there's a decent chance we'll have some major "event" in the next 10 years that will call for MCPS leadership, and they'll fail again.

We're in one of the richest (if not richest) ES'es in MoCo, in a W-feeder of course. We know 5 families in our DD's grade that have gone private. As it stands right now, most grades will be dropping to 2 classes/grade from 3, due to lack of enrollment. People in our area can easily afford private if they need to -- and they are doing that.
