We are in Arlington and the elementary school we’re zoned for has rave reviews and we’re both the successful product of DMV public schools and believe public school are just as good or better academically. Our neighborhood mostly goes to our local elementary. Realistically we’d only go to a top private school (not necessarily a big 3).
That being said are there social/developmental benefits to private? As we’ve gotten older, we’ve realized that having great friends has been more and more important. Also in business your connections are the biggest factor. Wed love to hear the thoughts of families in private. Let’s assume money is not a consideration.
An education is a gift.
Public is better
Your kids will ever survive if you care about the social part more you are new money no connections are going to happen
DMV privates are not connections lol
