Is it because it is a good school? If you lived in PG would you use the public schools?
Nope!

In PG, yes.
We're AA and we moved to MoCo instead of PG because we wanted the option of a good school district. So far, MCPS and Montgomery county as a whole have been a good fit for our two children.
Where in MCPS are you?

Is it because their neighborhood schools are bad? Do the black people in Bethesda send their kids to private school in general?
Bob does but Mark doesn't.

Tasker MS in Bowie sucks and I do not think the other MS is much better.

I'm thinking if the professionals sent their kids to the local schools, the schools would likely improve.

I have one AA acquaintance in Bowie who had her kid in private school K through 12th (and he just started at a decent college last year).

Wondering why PG county, which has a huge African American population of successful professionals, with good HHI has such terrible schools. Are those kids in privates? Do they go to the publics and perform poorly? Can someone explain this?
