[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You are asking too broad a question: not all public and not all private schools are the same.

So Ross ->Hardy->Wilson/Walls/Banneker, etc. or which privates? Where would you consider?[/quote]

Ross feeds SWW@Francis Stevens - not Hardy

I do not know where Ross families typically go to - but I am guess that many are pulling for private middle school.
Given this - you need to know what your options are and what the entry years are for the programs you are interested in.

6th grade is not an entry year for many of the privates - so you need to pull after 4th grade as the # of spots available are materially different.

Thank you, PP, and everyone else who has tried answering. I'm learning a lot already.

We are not considering moving the kid now, just thinking about the future.  [/quote]

Best thing we did was talk to our financial advisor. We have one in public and one in private (now) for financial reasons and my public loves their school whereas my private showed signs of needing it. It's been the best fit. Not too early to ask general questions and explore a change. If finances are no obstacle good for you, but they can be for some... and it may impact choices now to save for it. We're working that part out for when my other child may go private.

Some parents narrow schools based on cost and fit and some just fit. if you're not close to your schools you like, inquire about bussing options. It's been a huge help for us.[/quote]
