[quote=Anonymous]We've spent time in both DCPS and MCPS. One thing MCPS does much better than DCPS is magnets, which begin in 4th grade and go throgh high school. The system is far from perfect--there are not enough spots for all who qualify--but at least there are spots for some kids. There are also enriched options for kids who don't get magnet spots. For example, enriched and cohorted math and ELA start in 4th grade. (ELA is being rolled out to all schools next year.) However, we also had a good experience in DCPS in the younger grades. You can't beat having 2 years of free PK in the District. And even schools that aren't good over the long run are usually just fine for the first few years. [/quote]
