In my researched opinion, private school curriculae aren't that hot either. In some cases they are better, but never 40K a year better. :-)

And don't be fooled by shiny new labs and luxurious facilities. It means they don't spend where they should, ie on teachers.

Your job as a parent is to supplement with intelligent dinner conversation, inspiring activities and [b]get him into a magnet program.[/b]

OP here. We're in DC, so no magnet program, compacted math, or AAC.

This really was not the consensus I was expecting on the private school forum, which makes me appreciate the advice even more.[/quote]

It is my undestanding that while DCPS elementaries do not have formal programs called "compacted math," they do in fact compact the math curriculum for kids who need it. Maybe that is changing? But in any case, the DC middle schools offer the same advanced math track as the suburban magnets. How have select Deal 6th and 7th graders been taking Algebra I for all these years otherwise?[/quote]
