Last year some kid got stabbed in the back.

You might look at WES (Washington Episcopal School). We've found it very strong academically and on par with international schools (we have experience in a UK independent school), and a really caring environment, as well.

I'd second what you're reading here, that in DC all of the privates have a good population of kids who've lived abroad (and/or international parents)--rather than in some cities where a given international school or the British/French/German school is really the way to go. I think you'll find you can stay on level with the UK curriculum with any of the solid private schools if that's the concern.
