[quote=Anonymous]I would add that schools do get reputations based on reality and years of people's experiences. The private school world in the DMV is actually quite "small." The schools with the best reputations ("Big 3/Big5") are clearly doing, and historically have always done, something very right. A school with a lesser reputation is there for reasons. I would also argue that you really don't know "fit" until you are a part of a school community. The shiny brochures and welcome events are one layer. The actual community and day to day of a school is deeper. You and your child really don't know how they will feel until they give it a chance and become a part of that community.[/quote]
