[quote=Anonymous]My Blair magnet DC still remembers their pre-covid CES days fondly as the first time the teachers were super engaging (lots of demonstrations, in-school field trips, mock trials, experiments, etc.) and the peers were all on the same wavelength--quick, hard working, creative minds. This makes for a very good launch pad for higher academic success. DC's friends, whether they went on to humanities or STEM magnets, are all now thriving in various high schools.

Private schools (big 3 or not) will give you smaller classes and individualized attention, but the cohort will be uneven.  My formerly CES kid says that their old CES friends still complain that classes at Sidwell are not as rigorous as they'd like. This may be anecdotal or limited to only to a few students, but I think the rigor in the CES helped provide a strong foundation (and expectation) for later, more challenging work; and for whatever reason, these former CES kids are not seeing that rigor at even a top private.
