[quote=Anonymous]If you live in a good public school district — which it seems you do — I suggest you try it out. If you reach a point where it does not work for you, make the switch. We were in a high-performing DCPS ES initially but needed to make the switch to private because of the large class sizes (30) and a few other factors. While the smaller class sizes, differentiation and focused attention have helped our child thrive, we have other friends with children still in public who are doing just fine. The main difference I see is that our friends are more vigilant about academic enrichment in areas they think their public is weaker on whereas much of the enrichment is already in the curriculum or in the after school clubs taking place at our school. Because we are not in our neighborhood public school we spend more time shuffling our child to play dates, however, so it is a trade off.[/quote]
