Does that mean there is no public school for your neighborhood?

Does that mean that if you don't get into private, your child doesn't go to school?

Does that mean that you are homeschooling?

Public wasn't an option for us either. I was not impressed with the public elementary, MS, or HS in my district. So, we make the commute for private. That is a viable option if you can swing it. Whether anyone does or does not understand that it isn't an option is irrelevant.

But, what is difficult to understand is why anyone would choose to live in a neighborhood where they felt "public wasn't an option." This is why we would never live in DC because, for us, the public schools are not an option.

Really, you can't fathom? I can think of half a dozen reasons. To be near work, to be near family, because one is in a real estate situation that's hard to get out of, deep neighborhood connections... We live in an area with bad schools, and are sending our child to private. We did apply to a LOT of schools knowing that a shut out would be a disaster... I'm sure that OP will figure something out. There are lots of different ways to educate a cat.

Washington Episcopal School might have something too, if you aren't on the wait-list for them.
