Fortunately my kid's in DCPS, so he's in a small class in a newly renovated building a half-block from our house. As far as the budget cutbacks go, you'd be surprised how many school supplies involved parents can purchase with the extra $30k dollars a year they save on tuition.
Unfortunately, the differences between pubic and private go far beyond facilities and school supplies. Even if allowed, your extra $30k thrown at DCPS wouldn't purchase the 1:12 ratio, 4 days a week of art/music/drama, 3-4 days/week of foreign language, 4 days of p.e., and fewer disruptive peers.
