[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As a parent who has put three kids in private school out of Key I have to say my experience has been very different. All of my kids are advanced on the DCCAS, fwiw. One child got every question right on the DCCAS and scored 99th percentiles on the SSAT. We applied to five private schools and were accepted at three and waitlisted at two. At Maret we were told there were 120 applicants for eight openings in the sixth grade class. What is telling to me is that families who have a sibling already attending private school, who have a leg up on admissions, pretty much universally leave after third of fourth grades.[/quote] That is similar to our experience. Now that we have one in at a good private we might wait until 6 the for child 2 who is happy at public. But even with sibling pref it is a little risky.[/quote]
