[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes there is a stark difference.  My kid isn’t at GDS or Sidwell but another DC private ES with a similar high number of very wealthy parents.  We started in public and switched to private in person due to the pandemic. My kid needed in person instruction for 2nd / 3rd grade to become a solid reader.  I would never have considered private before, but it’s been vastly superior.  I now understand why some people won’t even consider public.  Much smaller student / teacher ratio and personal attention when needed.

Now that he’s a solid reader I plan to switch him back to public (Deal) for middle because l don’t really want him growing up around mostly very wealthy people. Not that Deal is scrappy and super SES reverse, but it is more so than the privates.  I feel like it will be a bit more like the real world than these very wealthy privates.  I have nothing against wealthy people but l prefer a mix.  Also l really value having neighborhood friends.  [/quote]

We in one of the top schools and it is not vastly superior so I am skeptical when you and others say private is superior. Nope. [/quote]

It has been vastly superior for my kid.  [/quote]
