[quote=Anonymous]We did (and are) struggling to send our kids to big 3's. It's tough to tell if it's worth it because I don't know what their experience would be like at a public. However for the most part it's been a really good experience. They are surrounded by bright, hard working kids whose parents are very (maybe overly) invested in their education. I know most of the parents very well so I feel comfortable with playdates etc. The class sizes are small and no one falls through the cracks. There is a lot of individual attention. If a child is having problems academically or socially it is addressed. If a child is a big problem they will likely be asked to leave. My husband and I both went to big 3 private schools and when we tell people where we went we usually get a very positive  response or "did you know so and so. " I want that for my DS. I want them to be able to be part of the DC private school group. I can't ensure they go to a good college, but at this  point I can provide a "good name" private school, so I think for that reason, and others, its worth the financial struggle. [/quote]
