[quote=Anonymous]We moved for Prek4. Our original plan was going to do DCPS (we are in an area of DC where elementary schools are meh) until middle school, or at least until 4th grade because that's an entry point for some privates. However, we began doing research and it gets more competitive every year. We ended up applying and getting our oldest in for prek4, the first year of entry at our top school (a "Big 3" on this board). If you can afford it and you want a top school, I would move the kids ASAP. Our child got into schools, we decided, and then got matched into a great elementary school out of bounds in the DC lottery. We turned down the spot because we didn't want to be in a bad position for 6th grade. Is the education that much better than the private we chose? No. However, we are paying for a spot that we want for middle and high school. For us (and I'm sure others will disagree) that money is well spent. [/quote]
