[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Find the school that is worth the tuition for you. Otherwise, send your kid to public if you feel it's not worth the money. It's that simple.

This. We applied to two schools for DC for 9th grade (coming out of private k-8). DC is 2e and the public elementary and MS options were not good for meeting both needs. We always planned to reassess for HS anyway. We decided our public option wasn’t fantastic, but it would be ok if needed, so the bar for private school became, is it a better option than public? And the answer was only “yes” for two schools. For all the others we looked at, when we asked ourselves whether, if that was the only school DC was admitted to, would we enroll DC there or send to public, the answer was public. So we didn’t apply.

DC did get into both schools and is loving the one they ended up at, and it is worth the cost for us. But each family has to weigh those options for themselves. [/quote]

Great advice! Also have a 2e kid. Which schools would you recommend?
