[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What private schools can you realistically get into for 9th grade? Catholics? [/quote] Catholics like St. John's, Gonzaga, and St. Anselm's. and also independent schools like Maret, GDS, Burke, and Field.[/quote] Elizabeth Seton isn't too hard to get into.[/quote] Yep, but not in the city. Also Dematha. It's a realistic option for some (it was the backup to our backup) to move and rent IB for Jackson Reed for a year. (It's dumb, but it's allowed by the rules and we live in a dumb city in which kids with great grades can't necessarily access their first or second choice selective school.) Even with all the associated costs, a one-year 2BR rental (we would have actually moved some portion of our family and kept our EOTP rowhouse as well) is WAY less expensive than 4 years at even the most affordable private school (by my calculation, $100k).[/quote]
