[quote=Anonymous]1. I don't think private school is worth it for elementary school for NT/smart kids who can thrive in a public environment. We could afford private in the sense of being able to pay the bills and keep our house, but it would be a real expense/hardship for us if we did it for all of our kids, so value for money matters a lot. There are some things private school is better at, there are other things that public school is better at. One is free. Given that our kids our thriving, there is no reason to revisit this decision at this stage.

2. Yes. We spend some of the money we would spend on private to supplement in more targeted ways (instruments, travel sports, ECs, personal travel). We would need to cut back on these things which I think are more helpful to our kids than private school with fewer of them would be. Again, for us the money is still meaningful/limited, so that aspect would be different for folks truly printing money (or with family willing to pay only for private).

3. Our IB DCPS on Capitol Hill.

4. We are not planning to switch for MS (which is imminent). HS may be a different story. As of now, we will go private if Walls doesn't work out, but obviously a lot can change.
