[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Then I'd say charters are the way to go.  If I hadn't married the corporate lawyer and found myself putting a kid (or two)  through school on an academic's salary (or two), I think that would be my approach -- especially if, for whatever reason, moving was not a good plan.

Certainly it's what one of my former grad students did and his DD is about the same age as mine.  Both of his kids went to ES (and are going to MS, I think) at Two Rivers.  He's looking at SWW for HS.  Charter options (and locations) keep changing and some start as early as PK3 which might even give you a chance to experiment and find the right fit.

Abstractly/politically, I'm opposed to charters.  But, realistically, in DC, they may be your best option (depending on kids, location, what you want from school, etc.)  The search/admissions process is stressful and a PITA but, hey, if you're considering private than you've already got your head around that![/quote]

I am a product of Private Schools in the DC area and am saddened by my public options for middle and high school. I am also Not a Charter School advocate.  Are there other creative ways to get around the tuition i.e. work at the school part time or schools that are more open to offering financial assistance?  Just curious. [/quote]
