[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thanks for the responses. The small district comment makes sense to me, ans we have considered falls church city, but does that apply to dcps which is smaller than mcps and fcps? [/quote] DCPS is not good. Look at the truancy rates and scores. The schools with higher scores are in high SES areas and there’s alot of outside supplementing happening. I can’t speak to the other districts, but I would move somewhere that privates are more affordable than DC so you have options if needed. All non- Catholic DC private options are all $$$ and very competitive at older grades. And for college you don’t have in-state tuition. If I had to do it again, I wouldn’t live here. If you look in our neighborhood (NW) there are so many little kids and not older kids because people have moved further out for the reasons I listed (among others). I love DC but our public school experience has been eye-opening.[/quote]
