[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Everyone should just state which independent school and which public system, or else this conversation is 100 percent useless.  If I asked you "what are the benefits of nude pumps vs black pumps with "this dress," you'd need to see the dress for your answer to have any credibility.

To wit, I can guarantee that the math and science offerings at GDS middle and hs are stronger than DCps and moco math and science offerings outside of takoma and Blair magnets.  St. John's high school vs bcc ? Maybe a different equation, I wouldn't know. [/quote]

+1 Love this comparison!  
We are parents of Beauvoir kids.  I can not speak personally about public school but I can say that we have been very impressed by the kids private school experience thus far.  There are many different reasons to chose one over the other, too many to list for purposes of this topic.  So much depends on the individual child and the specific schools that are available.  Even if public and private school elementary schools are comparable, the same cannot be said for highs school, especially in DC.  So, what I think some parents end up doing is sending their kids to private early to ensure that their kids will be in a good private for middle and elementary school.  The reality is that while there are a ton of very bright public and private school kids applying to private for middle and high school, if you have your heart set on a specific school, only so many children will be admitted and the probability that one of those kids will be yours is lower and lower the longer you wait to go private.
