[quote=Anonymous]We are leaving JKLM for Latin next year. We put our names in because Deal seems really huge, we LOVE the idea of a classical education for this kid in particular, small classes, tons of opportunities and a gung-ho staff out to not only prove themselves on a national stage but ensure student success. Private would have been a financial stretch, but it also would have been a kick in the pants for a non-top school (DC is middle of the road student entering in 5th who has an IEP for mild learning disability, which also means that Latin has to honor). We definitely would have gone private for HS no matter what, would not have gone JR (maybe Macarthur?) Now the decision is made. I also think that unless you are a really stand out hooked kid at a private, the college winds are shifting towards less affluent, academically-principled, more truly diverse (not wealthy URMs and even fewer scholarship kids) schools, like Latin. We feel like we hit the lottery.[/quote]
