[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]At the Parochial schools I am familiar in the west of Montgomery County, the overwhelming majority of kids go onto Catholic high schools including Good Counsel, St Johns, Gonzaga, Prep, Stone Ridge, Visitation, Holy Cross, etc., etc.

All though the eighth grade year, there is conversation and excitement among the kids and parents  concerning who will go to which of these schools.

A small fraction of kids go to the public schools. Sometime the reasons for this is financial, sometimes it’s academics and sometimes it’s family preference. I’ve wondered if it’s difficult for these kids with all their friends going in a different direction.[/quote]

how sad and small. seems that they can keep their old friends and make a bunch of new friends with fresh perspectives. then what? do this again in college, never go abroad, never go backpacking around the world and move back to boring DC. some of those schools have classes solely constructed of a single feeder school, how boring. i often wish i went for all As at the public i was chosing between (whose program is likely now considered far more prestigious than my Dc private). + for a wider variety of people. but a las we were not thinking that strategically then. was very deliberate about this for college (law school non issue)[/quote]

If this is OP, apologies this came off harsh. To clarify, I would not make the decision based on FOMO when all the kids will just be doing the same thing at a new place. Esp if DC is on board and it is a mutual decision.[/quote]
