what made you change your mind and stick with public?

Neither private seemed like a great fit for our DC or our family, and as we seriously considered the cost and pros/cons, it weighed towards public. Burke is lovely but our kid is sporty and was not thrilled with Burke's athletics. Burke's academic offerings did not seem $45K/year better than J-R. St John's athletic facilities are great but for our kid's favorite sport, J-R plus travel will be good. Our kid was not accepted for the St John's honors program, so we'd rather support DC to do their very best at J-R, take APs, and tutor as needed.

Langley is a great choice. If you want all boys, Landon is your only option. Assuming you didnt consider STA?

Langley High School or little Langley? Little Langley probably isn’t less intense.

What grade?

I'm assuming obviously if offered a spot at Sidwell you'd take that.

What’s up with the Sidwell obsession on this board? Or is it the same poster who can’t imagine anyone ever turning down Sidwell?

People shower schools like Sidwell/GDS/Cathedrals with praise and trash schools like Prep, Gonzaga and the Heights. It's in part politically charged.

If it was politically charged, then STA would be trashed too.

NCS - holy crap, what a beautiful school. Accepted, but simply too expensive.

SR - really weird vibe, not impressed with anything other than the physical plant

AHC - very warm, friendly environment. DD felt most comfortable here.

In the end, it's AHC. I know they don't get a lot of love here, but I take that with a HUGE grain of salt.

We loved AHC so much. But our DD wants co-ed, so we are choosing St. John's for 9th - declined AHC and Burke.

Declining Good Counsel and Landon. Bullis and Prep are tied. DS has to make a decision tomorrow but currently keeps going back and forth.

No, STA is a great school but has bought in with left wing dogma.

Declining Burke, Field, Bullis, Maret, St Andrews, St John's for our public Bethesda Chevy Chase (BCC) for 9th. Meeting with BCC this week sealed the deal for us. It was a long process. We did not get into our #1 or 2 choices.

You and your child did a lot of work for that outcome but you might make some waitlisted happy if others do the same
