May be doable for one kid, but if you have two.... Do both of you work, and what does your spouse do?

Interesting. Are both parents in both couples profs? If so, they may be just managing it, sort of the equivalent of the two-govt-worker couples at some privates. Or maybe the teach in a field that lends itself to lots of consulting work?

Well-researched MoCo public schools for us.

We have some at our school. I imagine this is true at many of the more moderately priced schools.

Uness the professor or his/her spouse makes/inherited moeny elsewhere -- their kids go public. I'm at GWU and some of the profs I know in the liberal arts -- send their kids to the dreaded DC publics -- Wilson H.S. which is otherwise known as "Yale or Jail".

MoCo language immersion programs and magnet programs. My kids had/have tons of faculty brat classmates. As a PP pointed out, it's hard to go private on a professors' salary unless the prof married a spouse who makes more.

GDS has a fair number (often law profs or lib arts faculty with lawyer-spouses).

Are you looking for a more "intellectual" environment? Be aware that the highest-paid professors and therefore the ones most likely to send their children to private school tend to be in fields that other academics frequently deride as overly applied and insufficiently intellectual. If you want your kids to go school with the children of liberal arts faculty, you'd probably better look to public school!

Assuming that professors can afford it, where do most professors choose to send their children? (Spin-off from Norwood thread.)
