[quote=Anonymous]It's untrue that there are many private schools accessible to Ward 6 families in the "20K/year range." My eldest, strong student, applied to half a dozen parochial elementary schools within a 45-min drive of us, near Brent, for both 4th grade admission and 5th. He wasn't admitted to any schools the first time around and just one the second, off the WL. The harsh truth is that most K-12 DC privates offer few spots after K. Things aren't all that much better in admissions for parochial high schools that aren't fed by their own middle schools. Most of his Brent pals from the lower grades are at BASIS. We know for a fact that most of these families have struck out at every vaguely affordable private school they've tried for.[/quote]
