You have no choice if rowing isn't offered at DC's school and your hope is to get her into a recruited spot at a DI or DIII--you'll have to go with the local club.  Assuming that the local club has a healthy schedule of year around regattas and your child is able to build her erg times to be a competitive recruit, it really should not matter.  My earlier point was to not rely just on a local public school program.  Most kids from local public schools supplement their winter/spring with their public school by adding fall/summer with a club.  [/quote]

OP: it would help if you identified your DC's school or school district, as this post reveals how so many posters are providing info based on their own experience, which doesn't reflect experiences everywhere.  More info about where your DC will go to HS will generate better info and advice.  For example, both Jackson-Reid and the Bethesda-area MCPS schools (perhaps all MCPS schools) with club rowing are 3 season clubs -- they row all school year. My understanding is that the NoVa publics and many of the privates do not row in the Fall as school-based teams.  Also note also that when posters opine about which schools are the tops, they are often looking at it from the narrow view point of the types of boats their kids or schools race.  As prior posters pointed out, DC-area public schools place incredibly highly at Stotesberry (Spring race) in the 8s, and you'll see decent, if not dominant, results at the Head of the Charles (Fall) from those same schools, as well as the clubs on which NoVa kids race in the Fall.
