[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thank you to the pp. we will definitely visit the schools and try to talk to parents. 
To the pp that is switching back to public, do you mind sharing why? Is it a financial decision or something more?  [/quote]

No, not financial, we can afford it. It’s been a disappointment with the academics that were touted and the inappropriate, disrespectful behavior of some teachers. I have specifics but cannot get that across on here with typing it up. Apart from small class size, we are not getting our money’s worth. At least one class we have to supplement with a tutor to fill in the gap. Curriculum sounds great, but don’t assume it will be fulfilled. And actually, feel like my child has fewer opportunities such as a minimal amount of clubs-educational and otherwise as one example.  This is a “rigorous” and highly regarded Catholic boys school in DC, cannot go much higher to get a “better” school. Maybe Albans or Sidwell, but we didn’t attempt to try. I have since become skeptical of privates and having given it a chance for a few years, we will return back to public. 
Good amount of families won’t leave because they specifically want Catholic and will ignore issues. [/quote]
