[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So we are facing the difficult choice of either moving or sending kids to private for middle school.  We love our house and our neighborhood, so would like to stay if possible.  What private schools are DCUM families in PG sending their kids?  Pros/cons?  We are not a religious family at all; would any of the catholic schools work or would that be too awkward for our children?[/quote]

In the same situation, Upper Marlboro parent.... Most privates in PG are ok for elementary school.  For middle and high school, the good thing is alot of the buses from outside the area come to PG:

Bullis - K-12 (Bethesda)
Potomac - K-12 (McLean)
Dematha (All boys) high - Catholic - But many non-Catholics attend (Hyattsville)
Seton (All girls) high - Catholic (But many non Catholics attend) (Bladensburg)

Closer would be: Riverdale Baptist (Our kids go here but after 5th, we will probably transfer for them) PreK3-12, Grace Brethren in Clinton, PreK3 -12, Excellence in Upper Marlboro, Prek3-12 (I don't know much about this school), Holy Trinity Epsicopal (Lanham) Prek4 - 12.  Just to name a few.

How do you like Riverdale Baptist?[/quote]

It’s ok. Class sizes not big. It’s just after middle school, it becomes it or miss. Of the 4 or 5 parents I’m close with, they transferred their kids in 6th or 7th. Two went to Bullis, 1 went to a Catholic in DC and the other went to holton (all girls school in Bethesda). Just seems like after 5th, it turns into a public school feel[/quote]
