MOCO can not even come close to competing with the teams from Howard county, Baltimore county, or Anne Arundel county they all run circles around the schools in MOCO. Personally, I really don't have the cash to pay full price at a private school either but there is a ton of academic money at these schools as long as your girls keep the grades up. it never hurts to apply to these schools and if you're accepted then go and apply for every bit of financial aid you can find. I pay about half of what the tuition would normally be just because of the academic money the lacrosse is way better our JV team plays some of the MOCO Varsity teams and beat them for scrimmages. on top of that, the academics are absolutely top-notch and very challenging.
