[quote=Anonymous]OP - If you want private school recommendations, it really would be good to know generally where you want to live, but it would appear to be NW Washington given that you are looking at the British School and WIS. Many of the private schools mentioned earlier are in NW DC. If you are looking at public schools, then it really matters where you live, because with few exceptions, your kids would go to the local schools. Contrary to what many on this board will say, some of the public schools are very strong, but all will be much larger than a typical private school, especially in middle and high school. You could easily have 600 students per grade, with class sizes in the 25-30 range, compared to 140 or less per grade and class sizes of 10-12 (or even smaller). It depends on your children. We have had friends move into the area from overseas whose children had a great experience in public school.[/quote]
