[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Best private schools in the DMV for academics:

1) Sidwell: K-12 Coed 
2) Cathedral schools: (Beauvoir for elementary coed, NCS 4th-12th girls only, St Albans 4th-12th boys only)
3) GDS: K-12 Coed (most liberal/alternative with strong academics)

Probably in this order.

These 3 if you are looking for the strongest academics… otherwise there are many other good schools that are less intense.

OP: Can someone provide a similar list but with only lower school/elementary schools? No K-12s?[/quote]

Primary Day School is the most academic Pk-2 in the area. And the good public schools all teach 1-3 grade levels ahead of national averages in elementary school. Ask anyone. 
After a solid elementary school (ie few gaps, solid foundation in reading/math/science/writing, insightful teachers on what kind of learner your have) you can better choose the next school pedagogy.  You may even know by then if you want coed or not, artsy or sporty, well rounded or narrow curriculum. Then pick.

That said, you can always leave a Pk-12, many people do. It’s not easy since making new friends may look daunting but that feeling won’t last if moving to a better fit school. [/quote]
