[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, my kids were at a CH school some years ago for pre k/K and I LOVED it. But even though the I loved their teachers and classmates, I didn't like the behavior, language, and activity I was seeing from some of the kids in the upper grades (4-5/6), so I applied out for private. I thought about waiting a few years, but I figured they had a better chance of getting accepted to the lower grades.

They both got in to great schools and I haven't regretted the decision at all, not even once. The commute isn't great, but its a sacrifice I chose to make and one that won't last forever. Good luck to you in whatever you decide to do.[/quote]

As a mom to a child starting ECE in CH, I'm just curious, what privates are CH families moving to for later elementary years? And then do you plan to stay private for MS and HS as well?  [/quote]

My kids are now in 2 different middle schools, but we've been at a total of 3 private schools since leaving DCPS. Believe it or not, there are/have been multiple CH families at each of them and I'm sure they aren't crazy about the commute either, but they do it. Carpooling never worked for our family, but there are families who live on CH (and beyond) who find a way to make it work for them.[/quote]
