[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My experience is that if you care about community, spend your money on a the best zip code ES you can afford.   In this area, your cohort will be no different than at the fanciest private schools but you won’t have the issue of distance.  Kids can roam around your neighborhood.  And you will meet parents not only at school events but by joining the local recreational soccer or whatever league.  So you see Susie’s mom at drop off, walking home from school and then on Saturday at the soccer field.  It makes friendships so much more natural than some weird PTA thing or emailing Susie’s mom about a birthday party.  Just a huge upside to not being a private lifer.  [/quote]

True.
We left dc lifer pk-12. Our three kids had great dc area private educations for lower schools, and at different schools. Had no LDs or mental disorders.

So in our new city we went top public. We felt it would be faster for creating community and also logistics. Been there, done that with friends from 10+ zip codes.  We appreciate the testing and grading policies in grade 5+. Kids are doing well. [/quote]
