[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We have three kids, two now in college and one finishing HS. We live in UNWDC and each attended different schools, including one each at two of the three you reference. Our youngest is at a big three. We were public school attendees ourselves and met at a competitive private university and 15+ years ago thought private would be a better environment for our children. With 20/20 hindsight, if we had to do it all over again we would do DCPS over anything but a big three. We don’t regret our choices as money was not a concern and each school did fine by each child. That said, the academics for those in the honors track at DCPS is strong and the more diverse social environment would have been beneficial for our kids. Honestly, only the big three offered exceptional curriculum and programs. My only hesitation to DCPS would be how much time parents have to devote to overseeing the child’s educational path, being a consistent advocate to ensure the child is accessing resources. That is something we found we did not need to do at any of our privates. It’s just that the experience our children at the alternate privates received was not exceptional. We get that choosing an educational environment is an individual thing. For us and with genuine hindsight, there is too much benefit to pass up DCPS for a less than top private school. [/quote]

Which of the three did they attend? I'm not sure if the three are more or less equal in quality or if one stands out.[/quote]

This is a limited profile - no one on DCUM is going to answer that question and risk outing themselves. [/quote]
