[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I work for the county and would never send my kids to private. Outcomes for children with the same backgrounds and SES is the same. If that money is burning a hole in your pocket, you'd be better served spending it on enrichment.[/quote]

That is exactly what many studies have shown. The same kid will do the same at any of these schools. Although a school's average may be affected by it's overall SES, individual outcomes are a function of the individual's SES. [/quote]

Sorry but wrong again.  Please show me these studies (recent please).  I know for a fact had my son stayed in the W school cluster he was in for middle school, he would not have the same outcome.  When he went from 8th grade (on honors track) public school to private 9th grade, he had so much catch up to do in writing skills especially.  He was SO behind the kids who had been in private all along.  Kids do NOT learn to write effectively in MCPS, but they are getting A's in the classes.  THAT is one form grade inflation.[/quote]
