[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My son is a freshman at Wilson. They all went to Deal. His friends at Sidwell and Maret are dying. I saw one at the basketball game and asked what he was doing there. He said the kids were weird and he missed his friends. I don't think he's going to make it. Others are having the same issues.[/quote] This hasn't been the experience for my DD and her Deal friends who moved to private schools. My DD is at a "big 3" FWIW.[/quote] Yes. DCPS 8th graders go to private for high school. Make sure your DC takes advantage of every opportunity to visit/shadow to make sure the school is a good fit. The Maret/Sidwell caliber of schools have their pick of applicants and don't take students that are going to "die" at the school.[/quote]
