[quote=Anonymous]If private school is a financial stretch and you are convinced CMI will provide what your DC needs academically, I say go for it! I don't know about CMI in particular, but there are a lot of very good DCPS and DC PCS elementary schools. Having had kids in both, my experience is that when you are in the really good public elementary schools, there is generally no academic advantage to private school. The biggest differences are in PE (private has a major advantage here!), arts programming (ditto), and foreign language (although CMI has great FL, right?). Also, private schools are often nicer aesthetically. Unless you feel there is a particular reason you need your DC in a private school for ES, save your money for MS, HS, College, Grad School. There is lots of schooling ahead, and there are far fewer strong public options for MS and HS around here. Congrats on your DC's acceptance and good luck with your decision! [/quote]
