[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Also, there is a lot of self-righteousness associated with sending kids to any public MS or HS on the Hill.  It is great when you learn that the ones who are so smug about sending their kids to Hill MS have plans to go private for HS all along.  For our family, private was not an option financially so it made sense to leave DCPS starting in MS.  If we knew we'd be going private starting in 9th anyhow, I'd feel much much more comfortable with a Hill DCPS MS (and supplementing if necessary).[/quote]

It will be interesting to see how the increased competitiveness of privates changes this group’s behavior. Without being smug, we always planned private for HS but are moving our child to private for K after seeing the competitiveness of private admissions increase in the last few years. We still live on the Hill but are totally bypassing DCPS, although our original plan was public elementary. Some of those parents waiting until high school for private may not have that option to wait, or their kids may not get in anywhere (or anywhere they think is worth the money). [/quote]
