[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DC public mom here. We have some Australian embassy families at our local public, John Eaton Elementary. Great school with down to earth families from all over the world.You should give it serious consideration. [/quote] The 12 year old will likely be entering 6th grade next year and John Eaton ends at fifth. What DCPS middle school do most families attend?[/quote] Hardy Middle School. It will be a shock for an Australian kid. Think daily fights and disciplinary issues. If you can afford it, go private for the middle schooler. Eaton is perfectly fine for a 7 year old and that’s the school they’d be zoned for. Beauvoir is a nicer school, but considerably more expensive than free. Send your 12 year old to STA if he can get in. Maret is also close, but smaller and potentially more claustrophobic. Bc classes are so small if there’s any bad social dynamic they’re kind of stuck with a small group of kids.[/quote]
