There's a really good group of PG County girls at Holton. They get to know each other well taking the bus. I was very worried about distance being a big social barrier for DD at Holton and it hasn't been at all. Both are great schools. Congrats to your daughter!

My kid from a JKLM elementary applied to Sidwell and Maret. Accepted to Maret, rejected at Sidwell. Sidwell was the first choice, but I suspect she will really, really like Maret.

Congrats! May I ask where your child is going for 7th? We're in PGCo and weighing options for down the road. Thanks!

I have two kids who went from MCPS to public. Easy transition.

A few years back, MCPS applied to NCS, Holton ans Stone Ridge for 6th grade. Got into all 3.

She went to Holton and about 1/2 of the new kids entering that year came from public.

Good luck!

You know what? If the afore-mentioned didn't offer her a place, then f*** 'em! And if she's OK with Wilson, then she will be fine there. Get her into one of Wilson's academies and she will shine and she will have a better chance at standing out when she applies to college. Plus, you will save loads of cash to devote to her college instead and/or to your own retirement. So please buck up! Your DD will be fine.

Good to hear that some public school kids have had success at the competitive privates. I sometimes worry we've missed the boat by not getting DC in for preK or K.
