[quote=Anonymous]Hi everyone, We’re looking at private school options for our child in the McLean/Falls Church area and I’m finding it surprisingly hard to compare schools academically. Public data is readily accessible for comparison and oversight. But private schools aren’t required to do standardized testing or publish results, so it feels like we’re flying blind. How do you all measure or compare the academic quality private schools, specifically K-8? Do you rely mostly on word of mouth from other parents and alumni? It seems like beyond touring, talking to current families, and hoping for the best, there isn’t a great objective way to compare them. [/quote]
