[quote=Anonymous]Honestly, OP, the parent entitlement at Lafayette is about the same as you will find at the various highly-sought privates. In fact, many of those parents end up sending their kids to those same privates eventually. The difference is that DCPS doesn’t cater to them as readily as a private would. We have found the academics to be great. I know some parents complain there is no gifted program, but my kid got lots of special assignments and other opportunities which is plenty fine for us. My kid loves their classmates, loves their teachers, loves going to school, tests in highest percentiles on exams, excels in sports…I’m not sure there is a thing I could point to where I would say, “if this is important, you better pay $50k to go somewhere else.” Maybe if you have a child with a lot of special needs? Otherwise, I think Lafayette is a good choice. [/quote]
