[quote=Anonymous]Call St. Alban's and ask. Seriously. You don't have to explain all of the details of your situation, but you can ask about admissions from DCPS. I had a very candid discussion with one (recently) former AD and one former head of school -- one from a top 3 school and one from a competitive school, but not top three -- when we were deciding between public and private. We ended up in private, but because of the class size and a few other things not related to later admissions. My concern was that my kids would not be prepared/on par with Beauvoir kids, but I was assured that was not the case (as long as we left by 4th grade). Admittedly, I knew both of these ADs through friends/family, so perhaps the candor that I got would not be the same if you didn't know them through someone, but I was pretty reassured that my kids would do just fine if they went to public school and would have good options if they left 3rd/4th grade.[/quote]
