[quote=Anonymous]It’s not hard. The key is to enter in kindergarten or an expansion year. Only a small handful of schools are competitive in kindergarten, and even then, I mean, the kids are so little. The school is mostly trying to get a full and sustainable roster. So if you apply to a few schools, you’re very likely to get into at least one. The problem is that for very many of us, we want private schools as a lifeboat to escape public schools we feel aren’t serving our kids. That means a lot of people are applying in grades when the private schools only have a few seats available, which makes it much more competitive. If you can pay and you’re willing to commute a bit, there is always a private school ready to serve you. More if you’re religious or okay with religion. But if “getting into private schools” to you means starting Sidwell in second grade or bust, then yeah. [/quote]
