[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You can try Holy Trinity in Bowie but to be honest, I wasn't impressed but there are many families who think that's the cream of the crop.  What area in DC do you work?  U live in Upper Marlboro and my kids go to a private in DC.[/quote]

We live in Bowie and toured Holy Trinity and were not impressed. It reminded me of a DC charter school or Semi-selective public school.

As someone mentioned, HT is (or was) highly regarded in this area and I just don’t get it. [/quote]

My coworker sent her daughter to HT and was not impressed.  She actually had a really bad experience.

Honestly, OP, try the public school.  I was in the same situation as you- I had reservations about the public school in my part of the county.  I tried the nearby Catholic preschool and another small private and had a bad experience at both- in the end I sent dd to our neighborhood school and it was excellent.  The private schools are nothing to write home about and if everyone considered the public schools their first resort they would be so much better and the “numbers” (which are next to meaningless btw) would be better.[/quote]
