[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We recently came to the decision we can't swing private school for DS. Its disappointing because we saw some privates that seemed like a good fit for him. Moreover, I hear a lot of parents raving about their kid's private school education (their kids love to learn, love to go to school, have really learned to think in a critical and analytical way). If you love the education your child is getting at a DCPS or charter school, can you talk about which one and rave about it here? I would love to hear some great stories as we start our search again (this is for the 2013-2014 year)[/quote]

OP impossible to advise w/out knowing:
-where you reside
-what sort of learner you have
-what you are interested in (language immersion? Montessori?  old-fashioned academics?  progressive academics?)
-what you are OK with (a lot of farms kids, not many)
-how long you plan to stay in DCPS or charter, and the city; whether you afford privates after saving

Tell us more.

We love Brent, but wouldn't go for another Hill es or a charter, other than 2 Rivers (didn't get in).  We don't have enough confidence in math teaching for our good-at-math (gifted?) daughter elsewhere.  Brent has hired a part-time math teacher for the upper grades with PTA money, helpign convince us to stay at least another year.  We think it's a happy school with good teaching and facilities, and involved parents, although, admittedly, we love being downtown/close to museums more than what DCPS is doing for us.

We're not OK with our ms feeders, like the other Brent parents we know.  We might be OK with Basis, but we'll have to see if we get in and how the school develops.  "Trite" concerns about ms quality don't seem to be going away.  9:47, you are the one who should shut up.
