[quote=Anonymous]Not many make the switch but we know boys who moved on to Gonzaga, DeMantha and St. Anselms after 8th grade, and both boys and girls who moved on to St. Johns and Bishop Ireton. UMC public school families in DC public schools don't tend to have the dough for 30-45K privates e.g. Sidwell, GDS, Maret, St. Albans. We know more BASIS families who left for MoCo and NoVa publics than DC privates. Some parents rent out DC houses for HS, planning to return as empty nesters. Divorced BASIS parents sharing custody sometimes leave for a MD or VA HS, with one living outside the District. I've observed that families who leave generally have students who are serious about music, languages (want advanced International Baccalaureate) and/or sports vs. STEM. We know one family that moved to Arlington for 8th grade so the kid could take the TJ test. Kid was admitted.[/quote]
