[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't get parents who won't at least try public schools in their area if they are supposed to be good. We moved to MCPS from another state where we were in a small private. I have learned that one of my kids absolutely thrives in a large public school environment. The other we're not sure about but so far so good. We are open to private for her but how can you not give it a try.[/quote] You forget that private school admission around here is a bit of a gamble. Many kids vying for not that many spots, so I don't blame parents for choosing not to miss the big entry years (PK or K, usually) instead of trying public first (especially in DC proper, where many families believe they will "need" to move to private to avoid the middle and high schools).
