[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Very few Ross families go private. A handful go to charters for 5th grade. Most of those who remain are heading to Francis Stevens. Some move for Deal/Wilson or MCPS. [/quote]

Not true. The wealthier parents start leaving after kindergarten for private when the classes get really big.[/quote]

Milton has a stop right near Ross, several kids are going to middle school there. [/quote]

If you're talking about Milton Gottesman, parents who decide to send their kids there are often heavily weighting Jewish cultural/religious factors, and those factors don't apply to every Ross student.  Milton has advantages, but it's not going to be weighted equally by everyone, and in this case should be considered a bit of an outlier.[/quote]

They give a lot of aid - so parents who would not otherwise consider day school, but need a private, like many Ross parents, go private. Not an outlier. [/quote]

But are any families really leaving for Milton? In the past few years I know of only one family. 
[/quote] we have been at the school 5 years. Only know three families that went private. Teo to WIS. One catholic.. Don’t know any who went to Milton. Not to say there haven’t been a couple but I doubt there sre many. [/quote]

Plenty leave for the Nwdc and Maryland burbs.  Particularly with pk3 being gone-the incentive to stick around Dupont with kids diminishes.[/quote] The data tells a different story. Rapid in boundary enrollment growth + more families staying in the neighborhood through middle school. [/quote]

The data does not support that most families stay inbound for MS. Quite the opposite. With the feeder pattern having been changed, this will be even more true...[/quote]
