[quote=Anonymous]I've seen many posts about the strength of academics and rigor at top DC area private schools for high school...but I am curious about which programs offer rigor for elementary grades when/if appropriate? And, if elementary is a 'no-go', how about middle school?

We may be looking to transfer from our current school in the future to find more challenge and a stronger peer group for our child.  DC loves current school but is starting to express an interest and willingness to leave for a more challenging environment with other children who have a similar desire to learn (& listen) in class.  Both DC and we like our school for the most part, so thinking of a potential move is a little rough.  But it's kind of been my sense that a lot of the local privates don't accelerate much in lower school anyway so I'd hate to go down this road only to find it didn't change much.

I guess there's always the county GT- Magnet route too, but that raises other uncertainties - especially with 2.0 complicating maters.

Thanks in advance![/quote]
