[quote=Anonymous]40% of children residing in DC attend  schools other than DCPS. Charter space is limited . School with out  Walls is just as competitive to get into as DC Private ( with just as much testing to qualify and also interviews) Parents who live in CoHi,Shaw, U St, Mt P,Petworth, and NOMA  look into everything, including Private. That's not being elitist, that's trying to keep you work/life balance in place , and keep your home, while pursuing a great education for your child. Those are very practical considerations.

No one is denigrating Eaton or Key on this thread or even weighing in on merits of public vs private, except to say that Wilson ( Cohi PS) or Dunbar( NOMA, Petworth PS) are  not options. Perhaps you think the out of bounds family who lives in Petwrth should just skip the Private school application process and send their kid to Dunbar HS ? Have you been inside Dunbar HS ?  I ask because I have ben inside that school and, no, I will not be sending my child there. Ditto Wilson.

OP has expressed a preference for Saint Albans and asked her  DS's chances of 4th grade accept at STA in 4 years if she turns down the Beauvoir accept at this time.

Instead of answering her question on odds, you are trying to steer her choice based on your own value judgement:

Beavoir = elitist snob, staying in DCPS at Key= down to earth nice people. LOL, I know lots of parents at Key who have their nose in the air. For example, " we chose public school because we don't want to be with those elitists in private school, sniff, sniff"

Words of advice: drop the sanctimony.
