[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Pp here. I realize you are looking for gifted programs. I just went through touring privates and we moved to McLean for their top schools not long ago. In my personal opinion, the best schools for the best students are as follows:

1. FCPS TJ
2. Big 3 Private - Sidwell, STA, NCS
3. MCPS - Richard Montgomery Magnet
4. Second tier Privates - Holton, Maret
4. MCPS - W schools
5. FCPS top schools - McLean, Langley, Oakton, Marshall
[/quote] How many of #2 and #4 would accept a child with ADHD and Autism?  [/quote]

This isn't really correct or what most people think. This is more the conventional wisdom

1. FCPS TJ or Blair magnet
2. MCPS - Richard Montgomery Magnet
3. Top Privates - Sidwell, STA, NCS, GDS, and more or top MCPS W schools or top FCPS McLean schools

Poolesville magnets are somewhere up there too these days.

Again OP said  "especially Math/STEM ". The top privates are nowhere near the top. [/quote]

+1 I wish the privates could compete in math/stem. DD attended one that was a reputation as being one of the best and it was. She was accelerated, they created a small class for her and a few others but she was so behind her peers at magnets. I am not sure they can replicate the exchange of ideas and the breadth and depth of the curriculum with the size of the top privates. There aren't enough top kids in math/stem to do that by just raw numbers. [/quote]
