[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our kid is at Ross and loves it. We could go private for middle or high school, but as an immigrant, I don't really have a sense of the major differences in quality and experience between the two and am not sure what to do. I will say that my coworkers who went to private schools seem to be better writers, but I realize that's a small and biased sample.

I promise I am not trying to start anything, I'm just a bumbling foreigner who would rather rely on advice from well meaning and well informed DCUM strangers than switch my kids back and forth multiple times.[/quote]

This question is likely too broad for me to be helpful.  Private schools are different from each other as are public schools. Also, every kid (and family) is different, which will influence where your child will have the best experience. Check out the school websites and open houses and you can get a feeling for each school while focusing on where you may actually apply.

We are lucky to have great public schools throughout this area, as well as privates and magnets.  Good luck![/quote]
