[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There are no ways to compare them to the privates.   You can compare coursework though.  Our kids go to public but our neighbors go to private.  Same grade - and our kids math and reading are easier.  Their philosophies are different in many privates and it seems like the private schools get more holistic and in some cases progressive educations.  Teaching students how to think what to think.

PP that asked this Q (not OP), thanks for this honest, helpful response! what you describe makes intuitive sense. i do obviously get that the JKLMM's have students that are likely not dissimilar from many high caliber private schools.

i just honestly struggle with the idea of parents claiming their kids are getting an education that is truly equivalent to a private school in any DCPS. i kind of don't buy it. i doubt we will be able to afford private when the time comes, but it is certainly something i consider given DCPS's known weaknesses. so will likely end up at a "successful" DCPS, but at the moment I have a lingering doubt on issues that are not "testable" like this.[/quote]
