[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Call St. Alban's and ask. Seriously. You don't have to explain all of the details of your situation, but you can ask about admissions from DCPS. [b] I had a very candid discussion with one (recently) former AD and one former head of school -[/b]- one from a top 3 school and one from a competitive school, but not top three -- when we were deciding between public and private. We ended up in private, but because of the class size and a few other things not related to later admissions. My concern was that my kids would not be prepared/on par with Beauvoir kids, but I was assured that was not the case (as long as we left by 4th grade). [b]Admittedly, I knew both of these ADs through friends/family,[/b] so perhaps the candor that I got would not be the same if you didn't know them through someone, but I was pretty reassured that my kids would do just fine if they went to public school and would have good options if they left 3rd/4th grade.[/quote] Come on PP, take a look at yourself or simply read your post[b] "I had a very candid discussion with one (recently) former AD and one former head of school " "Admittedly, I knew both of these ADs through friends/family" [/b] Likely their decision to admit your child, if you waited, would similarly be base don fact that this is your social circle and the AD is your friend. You are setting the OP up. Is it deliberate ? [/quote]
