[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]One of my kid’s very best friend went to a Big 3 after another North Arlington elementary school and Williamsburg. They met up again at UVA and rekindled the friendship that they still have to this day. The parents assume the switch would get the kid into an Ivy. It didn’t. Ironically, it very well may have had the kid stayed at Yorktown, where they likely would have been a superstar. Oh well, it’s not my money. [/quote] Totally true. OP, make sure you know what you’re getting into. If you’re looking for increased rigor (particularly in writing), private could be a great choice. If you want to secure a spot at a top college, a switch to private could very well work against your child. There are too many kids with (major) hooks at these schools. Harvard’s only going to take so many kids from any given school.[/quote]
