Also, a previous poster made a comment about disruptive students in the learning environment. I find this to be interesting. At the private school, we had major disruptions- but the check(s) cleared so the family stayed. [/quote]

Agree with this! As a parent with a middle schooler in a NW private and another in the early years at Mann, I have definitely seen disruptive behavior tolerated to an almost bizarre degree at the private. As long as the disruptor family is full pay, they will let quite a lot slide so I think that is not really a good point of comparison. I can also say that Mann is way more rigorous academically than the private at this early stage. We personally know at least 5 kids who finished Mann and then easily made the switch to my older child's private school for middle school. Of course, I am sure a lot depends on the year, etc., and I don't know about other schools, but the flow from Mann to private DC middle schools seems fairly well-traveled.

Also a small note for those who think you need to move in-bounds for Mann: not so! The lottery worked well for us and about 1/3 of the kids in our class are OOB as well so definitely don't count that out as an option.[/quote]
