[quote=Anonymous]It depends on the private school, your income, distances, etc. If you make $1m a year, your kid got into Sidwell, you can afford $50k/year tuition, and the school is easy to get to/from home/work, then go with that. If money is tight and you are talking about a low-ranking private school far away from you in the burbs, then go with Basis. Basis has both public and private schools and the curriculum is the same. So your kid gets the same education at Basis DC as he/she would get at, say, at Basis McLean. The difference is you are paying $32k a year for Basis McLean and $0 for Basis DC, but the facilities are better at the former and there is more hands-on instruction. Based on test results (once kids have spent at least a few years at the school), Basis is the top school in DCPS and beats many of the privates. We could afford private school but went with Basis for the reasons mentioned above. We are really happy so far. [/quote]
