[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I went to Exeter. My children go to a Title I DCPS. So I know what you mean. I'd switch them in middle or high school if I could afford it. It really is a different world. [/quote]

Ok...
This is what we want to hear about. 
I’m the OP of this thread, and I had sort of given up here. Posters are having a really hard time with time with the money aspect of this discussion. I don’t need a cost benefit analysis. The cost is not the issue. 
If money wasn’t an issue, would you have them in private starting in pre K and continuing all the way through?
Do you see a benefit to their DCPS title 1 school? [/quote]
No, we wouldn't since privates pick and choose their kids. They should just have lottery and then show what kind of education they can can give to all their kids. Not only do they pick and choose, but they also have the money to impress the parents with their grounds and facilities. We won't try for privates, but I think our kid would make the cut because he is a minority, speaks 3 languages and we are fairly low income. I don't want my kid to be the one who makes the school look more diverse.
Dc will go to DCPS and maybe VA public schools later since we work in Va and might move there one day.
