[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes. We did this and was so glad that we stayed in our local public for K-5 and then accepted into a Top 3 school for 6th. Turns out that our child was also academically ahead of the kids who had started in the Top 3 school at K, and we saved about $250K by doing public school for elementary. So big win-win overall.

I wouldn't say you saved $250k.  There was a trade-off by doing public school for elementary.  Elementary school is important and there are many reasons to avoid the public school system.[/quote]

And many reasons to go to public ES.   Just a counterweight that the top kids at our Big 3 often come in 9th and often from public.  Not always, but a lot of them.  It can’t be all savage gangs roaming the hallways.

Which big3? Not STA or Sidwell, where the 9th graders are overwhelmingly from private school. The exceptions are typically athletes low-key recruited for team sports.

I have experience at both. [/quote]
