[quote=Anonymous]I'm from NYC. Welcome to DC! Definitely fewer options, especially in single-sex k-12s

Brearley / Spence / NB - NCS
Collegiate - St. Albans
Dalton / Trinity / Horace Mann - Sidwell and GDS, GDS is really progressive so may even be closer to St. Ann's, it's not a clear mapping to the NYCs schools but Dalton is probably closest to Sidwell if you set aside the Quaker aspect
Riverdale / Fieldston - Potomac
Chapin - Holton Arms
Calhoun - Field / Burke, maybe Burgundy Farms
Browning / Buckley maybe - Landon (although is 3-12)
Trevor Day / Columbia Grammar - maybe Bullis

Beauvoir is prek-3 and is the feeder school to NCS & St. Albans (Beauvoir kids get preference) which are single-sex although Beauvoir is co-ed. DC doesn't have single-sex options for early elementary.

DC also has different age ranges, like Primary Day ends in 3rd and National Presbyterian ends in 6th. St Patricks is a prek-8, so maybe like a co-ed Allan Stevenson?

Catholics are a whole separate post that I'm not as familiar with. Bilingual is really limited with WIS being the option (also comparable to UNOS), French Maternelle and German School aren't as academically good as the list above.

Another big difference is that feeder preschools aren't nearly as much of a thing. There are a few, NCRC and Little Folks for example, but it's not a guarantee of admissions to top schools, we intentionally didn't go that route to make ourselves more competitive.
