[quote=Anonymous]OP, I have also considered this route but ruled it out for a couple reasons (at least for the moment): with 2 kids (if you only have one now, you might have one later), you'll be paying $60k/year for 12 years (possibly 14). A huge sum of money. It just seems financially smarter to invest in a house where you are in good public schools. Another big factor is that, if you're sending your kids to an expensive private school (most likely across town in NW), playdates and socializing with other families will be very difficult. 90% of the people will be living in "better" neighborhoods and won't want to trek to Brookland. They are also going to be from families where dropping 60K a year for 14 years is not a big deal. Consider the gap in social strata and what that means in the long run. [/quote]
