[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here, thanking everyone for their feedback.

We're interested in a small class size for the individual attention from the teachers, not out of hopes that it will help our kid overcome his shyness.  He's interested because he's been in very small classes from the beginning, by accident rather than by design (we live in a small-school place), and he was gobsmacked when he heard how big some of the DC area schools are.  I'm sure he'll be a DC metro pro in no time, but we're seeking to ease the transition for him as much as we can.

I'd read that Browne was somewhere in the middle between traditional ACDS and progressive Burgundy, so I started to think of Browne as on the progressive side.  Guess not.   :)

I have 2 DC in Burgundy MS and we love it. it is not perfect but a great MS spot--low key, less social pressure than a big school, lots of room to be yourself. I am not sure about all this Browne bashing though. when the kids play against Browne in sports you can see lots of community spirit, parent support (and they usually play better than we do :)). so it is clearly not a disaster. the one downside of burgundy is that it is small--and the kids are pretty tired of each other by 8th grade. but it's been just awesome for us and I hope you join us!

Have you asked Lori for some parent contacts to speak with? she can suggest some people to talk to--and most of us would be quite up front on the pros and the cons.[/quote]
