[quote=Anonymous]Our kid was also high performing at a great Arlington elementary school. We moved to private this year mostly because I wanted that option for middle school, and we happened to get in (unexpectedly), and I didn’t want to lose the spot. All else equal, I wish we could have waited until 6th so she could have solidified her very good neighborhood friends. That said, her private school cohort seems stronger academically — this really surprised me, as we live in a wealthy neighborhood with tons of advanced degree parents. She was, as I understand it, near the tippy top at her public; she is in the top quarter at her private, but not the very top. I’m glad she has a peer group that might challenge her a bit — and, at the very least, show her she can’t be the smartest one in the room with zero effort. [/quote]
