What percent of your block/neighborhood goes to private?

[Anonymous]

Of families with school age children that I know, probably 75% are/were attending private.

100%, but we are the only house on our block.

40% at parochial or independent schools, not MCPS.

+1. We live walking distance to Whitman, and 40-50% at parochial or independent schools is about right for our neighborhood.

Capitol Hill, zero. Maybe a dozen school-age kids on the block.

I live in a fancy apartment building. Not too many kids, but of the ones who live here, about half go to private.

When we were moving to the DC area, our company relocation consultant told us that the default for families that move to Maryland was private, and the default for families that move to Virginia was public. At the time MCPS was lagging behind significantly to FCPS, except for Whitman. Low and behold, we moved to Virginia and our kids attend private.

Only 5% on our block goes to private, but probably more like 10-20% in the overall neighborhood. Affluent Arlington neighborhood.
