[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Well, you can’t buy a house for less than $1.2M in our public school district so… it’s a lovely public school… full of kids who all live within a few miles of each other… and very involved parents… I have trouble understanding why families would choose private for the elementary years. [/quote] We chose private for elementary years because 1) we could afford it 2) we started applying at 3 y.o. into top 10 DC private schools, were waitlisted in several and only got into one school at age 8 3) we were told in older age it would be even harder to get in. Also considered moving to McLean for Basis or Thomas Jefferson but eventually decided changing residency would be more trouble and not worth it 40K/year. Plus, our private school is truly amazing and children love it[/quote]
