[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In W Cluster and considering private for DC. Do private schools have later start times for middle and high schoolers? Was that one of the factors you considered?[/quote] Yes but depending on the commute it may be a wash. If you stay in MD near the Ws you will be good. We are zoned in a bad FCPS district but it's really a blend of low income and very high income. While our oldest made it through, for many reasons our younger wasn't so we switched to private and it's like night and day - much better for this particular kid. However for many kids, a great public is probably fine. Unless you have plenty of money or unless there's a compelling reason a student needs smaller classes, more class discussion etc public works well for most. That money is better spent on college/grad school.[/quote]
