[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP are you talking independent Catholic? If not, I really don't think a Catholic school is better than MCPS, certainly in terms of rigor of work/curriculum.[/quote]

Especially not in math.[/quote]

Having sent my kids to both Catholic and public, I’d say the Catholic was far more rigorous. And Math seemed more intentional with a firmer foundation. And this was a parish school, not an independent.

I’m also a teacher, so I’m rather critical of curricula. But everybody’s milage varies, and schools are all different. Some publics are better than some privates, and the opposite is also true.[/quote]

Then your Catholic is a unicorn. Kids who go from public to Catholic are bored to tears in math, and kids who go from Catholic to public are nearly always behind in math. It’s very well known.[/quote]

No… it’s not. I’m sitting over here with two decades of experience. I’ve taught over 2,000 students in both settings.

That’s… just not remotely true. Is it true occasionally? Sure. But do I also see students from publics struggling in private classes? Absolutely. Some are placed back in Algebra for 9 because they don’t pass the placement exams.
