[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, is the public school you lotteried into still an option? Personally I would only go private if a good public did not work out. [/quote]

This.  I would save the 12k in a 529.  [/quote]

NP here. +1 to this.

OP, you seem very focused on the financial aid at the private school, for both kids. If the aid is crucial, and you'd have to pull your kid(s) out if it changed, please consider that you may be overextending yourselves to send your kids to the private school. College is beyond expensive and putting that private-school money into 529 plans or other college savings would make sense and could save your kids from being burdened as adults with tons of college debt.

This area has some of the best public schools in the country, despite the carping all over DCUM. A middling school in many school systems here is far better than the best schools in much of the U.S. You are positive about the public school your child would attend. I'd go with that and save money for college instead.[/quote]
