[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Some people are active in their church and move their kid to their parish school after elementary school.

Some apply out after 3rd to schools that start / have expansion in 4th.

I do not know anyone who had realistic expectations who got "shut-out"[/quote]

That's good to hear. I think our expectations are realistic although I don't want to send my kids to a religious school - will that eliminate a lot of the options?

I don't really care about getting into the "best" school, I just want a middle and high school option for my kids that is safe and academically challenging. [/quote]

Yes, "no religious schools" will remove a lot of options. Wipes out the entire lower-cost section of the market, much of the midrange, and a reasonable proportion of the extremely pricey schools. Though even the low-cost private schools in this area are not cheap. What's your budget and your flexibility? The standard other option is to high-tail it to the suburbs.[/quote]

+1 this limits you to about 12 schools, with a mix of low admit schools (GDS, Maret), and some that will take anyone who can pay (BASIS DC, Fusion), with a few in the middle (Bullis, Burke). [/quote]

BASIS Independent is the private school.[/quote]
