[quote=Anonymous]We went to a small K through 8 in DC and moved for high school and junior high school in MCPS to Pyle Whitman. It was the best thing we could’ve done for our kids. The academics are a step up, the activities and the social outlets can’t be compared. It was stifling in the bubble of our school and very dysfunctional. I think one argument for staying as if your kid has anxiety or special needs or needs that extra hand holding. The Publix that we’ve experienced have more experienced teachers and a real curriculum. Our neighbors did something very similar and we joked and discussed how much money we wasted in the early years. We could have afforded to send them all the way through but are very satisfied with our choice. Eldest is going to college next year and his friend group who stayed in private have very similar choices and they were a lot more stressed in high school then he was. Two of his private friends are struggling with admissions right now. That’s just not the case with my sons cohort.[/quote]
