[quote=Anonymous]Granted my information is older, but I did dcps thru sixth way back when, then went to a big three. The first semester my grades weren’t great. Mix of As, abs, and Cs. But then I caught up, and by high school, once grades count, didn’t notice a difference.

Socially I hated the transition. But I liked public elementary school and was glad I was not a lifer. First, the lifers were the least nice snobbiest people, and I was glad I had nicer friends in elementary school than those girls. Second, it meant I had friends at Wilson and other privates, which provided more of a social outlet for me.

I don’t know about admissions. I know it’s harder now. But I would not spend all that money just for that reason. First, they will probably get in somewhere for middle school. Second, I felt bad for the kids who were outplaced because they weren’t a good fit for the school as they got older. Back then it meant you’d switch to Maret or Burke or boarding school. I’m not sure where those kids go now.[/quote]
