[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We’re going to have to make a decision between public and private school in a couple of weeks for our rising K student and toddler.

We applied to see what the “other side” is like but would prefer to do k-5 in public.

How hard is it, really, to get into good private schools in DC, Bethesda, NoVa if we apply for our children to start in private in 6th?

How many would we need to apply to make sure our child got into at least one?

In case it matters, we would not need financial aid. We’re an international family, both parents work, went to top colleges. (I don’t know if any of this matters but wanted to just write it here).

My point is even if you get into these schools. You perhaps have to worry if it is worth it and if it is the right school as most of these schools, even ranked high, have many issues. The overall problem is lacking of qualified teachers, especially in science, math, and foreign languages, overall. The best you get in private school is small class and peers, but those you can also get in less  elite private schools.[/quote]
