[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We have one in both. There are pros and cons to both public and private. A lot depends on the kid and his needs. Some kids need a smaller environment to thrive. Others don’t and benefit from the broader course selection in public. Only you and your child can answer which is the better fit.[/quote]

I’ve never heard of a broader course selection in public. The private school where your DC is must be a very small  school if it has fewer courses than public. Our private has many more courses to choose from than any public school in the county.[/quote]

You're either very ill informed about the choices at the area public schools, or you aren't in the DC area.
I have one in private and one in public - they are both at the school that's right for them.  But the public school has many more courses to choose from than any private school I know of.  There are simply so many more kids, so they are able to offer many more choices.

OP, it really comes down to your kid - my DD In public is having a wonderful experience and is thriving.  My DS in private is thriving in his small school in a way that he wouldn't have in our local public.  
You know your kid best, but don't automatically write off the public school. (And whatever you do, don't believe the DCUM private school board for an accurate assessment of the public school)[/quote]
