We made $3M in W school, send our kids to private.

DH and I both did public school all the way through, both well prepared for college. We bought our house based on the public schools.

We pulled our kids out of MCPS during COVID and haven’t looked back. There are significant curricular differences and very different relationships with teachers. Much better exposure to arts, history, music, science etc. Honestly feel like they are getting a more well-rounded education.

My kids love being in an environment where they know everyone and everyone knows them. It might get too stifling by high school, but kids are super happy for now.

It is a very different experience. I wouldn’t say that either way makes you “better” educated, but we think the private school our kids attend better aligns with our approach to education. [/quote]

This is similar to us. W school, slightly lower but still high income. Pulled out during Covid. I guess that was the point I finally started watching MCPS BOE meetings and realizing it's a huge task to steer a ship of 160k students and many competing interests. Really glad we moved to private and so are our DCs.[/quote]

I wonder if you and PP wish you had moved earlier, or whether it is better to be in public for the earlier grades?[/quote]

We were in our W ES feeder schools for about 2 years before Covid hit. I didn't mind when they were at public, and you get slightly smaller classes in K anyway, but we do like private more. Some privates only start at 3rd grade anyway.[/quote]
