[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It seems that schools like Sidwell, GDS, and STA don’t allow differentiation until 9th.[/quote]
I have a hard time believing that this statement is 100 percent true.[/quote]

It is true, for the most part, for younger elementary IME. [b]For this reason, i am not sure why OP didn't know this going in. [/b]I don't mean to offend, but I thought it was commonly known among parents whose children attend these schools. The Big 3 and like private are not "rigorous" elementary schools. If I wanted more knowledge and skill acquisition, and perhaps more rigor too, whatever that means really, I would put my child in the neighborhood public elementary school. [/quote]

OP here.  OP did know this going in. Please read my Original Post to see why we are reconsidering our initial decisions, which were made when DS was not quite 4. [/quote]

Wait. You did know it going in, yet continued to make this decision? Or you've gradually realized this? You seem to be saying both. In any case, my advice is public AAP. We have an older child doing just that, with two younger children in private. We are planning to move the oldest back in 9th. [/quote]
