I considered it but they would have lost 2 years of math progress. No private school I visited had math on par to MCPS.

Your kid isn't a high schooler at Blair Magnet. You could have found a private school that didn't lose you two years of progress.

You are wrong. MCPS math for students who are higher achievers (don't have to be the magnet-level) are ahead of private schools in the area. Speaking from experience. I moved my student back to MCPS when he tutored seniors in his math class when he was a freshman. And he wasn't magnet level - high achiever, but not that high.

Doesn't work that way. Can't demand a new teacher during current school year. Write the principal, explain the poor experience, and ask for another teacher next year, if a better one is available. The principal can make this happen for the coming year.
