This is untrue. I have children at FCPS and at a Catholic k-8. The public kid is in school more days and hours.

Wash DC area schools have almost 20 less instruction days than the 180 public schools must have. Especially if your kid has Wednesdays off, tons of half days, 4 day weekends every month, 2 weeks for winter break, 2 weeks for spring break.

No DC area Catholic school has this kind of schedule. What schools are you looking at?

Those stats are DC independent schools, way fewer days of instruction.

Well there is that saying “the more you pay, the fewer days you go”! 😉
