[quote=Anonymous]The real questions are, what do you value most in education as a family and what are you willing to put up with in a high school? Do you want your kid at a school where most of the students are Catholic, and probably white and UMC? Where the students are far more sheltered overall than in a public school? We'd rather move to the burbs than go private, though we can afford parochial school and one of us was raised Catholic and attended parochial schools growing up. Every family of means doesn't have the patience to contend with the rough and tumble of a DC public high school. We've always supplemented a good deal in DCPS, mainly via summer enrichment. We do this primarily because, in our experience, STEM and language instruction isn't too hot. Things are pretty clearly better at JR for STEM than at Walls. In our view, the location, peer group at Walls, and some great teachers, give us enough to run with. [/quote]
