Better, maybe, but not "significantly" better and certainly not $50k annually better.

It is definitely better and even more so when comparing Burke US to JR and even Walls. This is not just about Burke, the demand for private schools in the DMV is huge. But you have to pay for it. For many parents the money spent in K-12 is just as important for their kids’ education as college.

I just don’t agree that Burke is better than the test in Dc schools.

No skin in game for either school, but Walls is no longer "test in." It's an application school.

Right, but Burke is charging A-level private-school tuition for a C-level private-school education and experience.

+1. It might be A level for kids who wouldn’t be successful in public school and need additional support. But definitely C level for kids without learning challenges.
