[quote=Anonymous]OP, we moved to private even though it’s not simple for us financially and involves a significant daily commute.  We don’t regret it.  Am I worried about finances more than before?  Yes.  But we are making it work.

I think it matters why you want the private school.  For us, we cared about smaller class sizes, minimal screen usage in early years, reliable communication with teachers who actually cared to get to know our child, and a school that would foster a love of learning in our kid, who is intelligent, curious, and sensitive.  We tried for sometime in DCPS and it was not a good fit for us.

Our private school isn’t perfect, there are things I wish I’d known before we enrolled but overall, I am blown away by the attention kid is getting from the teachers and their ability to quickly solve any issues that we flag for them.  My kid is happy.  Will it be the right place for them for the next decade, I can’t say.  Will we have less in savings and travel less to make this happen? Yes.  Do I want to renovate my kitchen and can’t have that right now? Yes.  But for now I do not regret centering my kid’s education.  [/quote]
