[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I might do private for academics for non gifted kids, but the small social circle would give me pause.

For very high achieving kids, I would choose MCPS magnet, at least at the HS level.  [/quote]

Catholic HSs offer the same classes as their public counterparts: AP, IB, and dual enrollment options. I sent my high achieving kid to one. [/quote]
? that's not the same as a magnet program.  Every MCPS HS offers AP, and some IB.  But, not every HS has a magnet program which draws very high achieving kids from all over the county.  MCPS is huge, which is both a strength and weakness.   The large size means that there are more high achieving peers, but it also means that the class sizes are larger.

Have two kids: one went through the magnet route, and  the other didn't, but that DC also has taken AP and IB classes, so that's no different to private.

As I said, for super high achieving kids, MCPS magnet is a better choice.  That's why every year there are private school kids who apply to these magnets.[/quote]
