[quote=Anonymous]I think there is merit to OP’s post. I think there is a bubble about to happen in DC private schools. The reality it that it may be better to be at a less “Coveted” private for college when you take legacy off the table. Unless private schools do more for college admissions, there may not be the return investment that parents hoped for. I still believe private has benefit over public because the small classes are helpful and you do know that you will have teachers definitely prioritizing recommendations and your ancillary documents will get in on time. Time will tell. Last year’s admission cycle at our school was fine but not great. Two years in a row will start to show a trend and that isn’t good. I am sure schools like St. Andrews, Bullis and SJC are seeing an opening to up their status. These schools do a lot for their seniors. [/quote]
