[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just be sure to pick a DCPS school with many good teachers. If there's strong neighborhood buy-in, with a school that's at least 2/3s in-boundary students, you'll probably find that. I don't think you need to pay for private for an elementary school kid in DC these days. [b]Even if you're well-off, you don't want a cocoon kid who may not be able to roll with the punches a little[/b]. My kids love their longtime DCPS school and are thrilled to be back there this quarter in 3rd and 5th grades. They read one or two ahead of grade level, play musical instruments decently after years of very cheap music lessons at the school, and loop up a grade for math.[/quote] This. Think about it, OP. The curated "diversity" of a selective private can have a subtle negative influence on your child's character, social skills, and life experience. [/quote]
