[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why are you looking to move out of public? Figuring out exactly what your goals are could help identify schools that fit.

Are you ok with Catholic schools? Protestant/Christian? Episcopalian? Do you care about all-girls vs co-ed? Do you want a school that goes through 12th, or is a k-8 ok (or even preferred)? Do you have a budget or need financial aid?

Are you getting a jumpstart on next year’s application cycle, or have you realized belatedly that you want to switch for next fall?[/quote]

OP here. We live on the hill and are happy with our elementary school. We did the lottery but did not get into any of the charter middle schools we listed. We are open to/continuing to explore DCPS middles, but we think we need to start looking more into private options. Ideally, we’d find a school that would work through high school. There are so many and it feels a bit overwhelming starting out so was looking to get an idea of a few that would be worth looking more into.

We have no strong preference re: co-ed vs. all girls. We do have a younger son so perhaps eventually it would matter but we are more interested in finding the best fit for each kid than having them at the same school. I think, based on our income, we’d likely be full pay. I think we’d likely prefer an independent school but we are not opposed to religious schools as long as they are welcoming of those who do not follow the belief system.

Happy to hear there are so many others out there that sound like DD. She’s a happy, fun kid who does apply herself at school but it is not something she necessarily enjoys. She is hard on herself when she doesn’t do well and I think an overly rigorous school would cause her too much anxiety.[/quote]
