[quote=Anonymous]I take OP's point, but these DC schools have never been true feeder schools like Andover or Exeter (though I am not even sure if that's still the case!). I would assume all kids at top HS in DC or affluent suburbs are dealing with the same level of competition for Ivies - just some parents didn't have to pay as much for their kids not to get in. I am still open minded regarding what system would be better for my kid (public or private), but bc college admissions seems like a crapshoot, I think I am leaning towards what school offers the best balance of good academics with an environment that supports mental health and positive relationships (perhaps smaller, less prestigious privates since I doubt our zoned public offers this - Whitman).
