[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No personal experience with this, but we are in the same boat and plan to put our child in JKLM.  I'm sure my child would have had a great private school experience but I remain unconvinced that the cost can be justified.  But I understand how it's hard not to feel guilty when you go to those welcome events and parents seem OVER THE MOON their child got into that school.  Seriously, some people act like they won the lottery or something.

We are looking forward to our child attending our neighborhood school right down the street.  We may revisit for middle school, but I am really excited about our decision and look forward to the fall.  To the OP, your child will be great.[/quote]

We've had kids in both JKLM and Big 3 private. I know it's shocking to some, but there isn't that much of a difference. Certainly not a $40k difference. And the neighborhood school experience has been wonderful for our whole family. [/quote]

So you left Sidwell, GDS or Beauvoir to go back to Janney or Mann before 5th grade?  really?  [/quote]

Multiple kids, different schools. And two others on this thread have said the same, including a teacher who taught at both. If you have friends at the other schools with kids in the same grade, ask them. [/quote]
