[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]That's great.   But that's not what I'm warning against.   Many of the top private schools around DC have large class sizes in the younger grades.  I was pretty shocked to see posts on here stating Sidwell Friends has 25 in a kindergarten class.  I have no clue if it's true or not, but if it is, I'd think twice before choosing it over an MCPS elementary.

So if that's your primary motiviation for going private, it may not be worth the $$ to get a slightly smaller class size.  The real difference, statistically, doesn't really show up unless there are fewer than 17 in a class.   It's just one thing of many to take into consideration when trying to get the best education for your child.  It's not the only thing. [/quote]

The teacher:student ratio in Sidwell's K is 1:12.  Please don't post or repeat rumors if you don't have the facts.  This is as crazy as the PP who said the majority of kids leaving public for private have "special needs".      [/quote]
