[quote=Anonymous]     Pleased to see surprisingly consistent responses on this thread to OP's question, and I will add my vote to the majority.  Most DC privates discussed above have been said to be way above the quality of most day privates in the country.  Go with what feels right and you almost certainly won't go wrong.

Our own experience  -- we focused on the biggest name DC privates (both parents having come from publics and knowing little about the private school world). On a rainy, miserable day we decided to go to one last open house years ago at SAES.  Both my son and I instantly fell in love and knew it was a great fit, but we had some reservations as it wasn't quite what we envisioned.  We took the leap and it was one of the best parental decisions we ever made.  He got an outstanding education, had a wonderful time, made lifelong friends, and yes -- later attended and was well prepared for one of the most selective universities in the country.   See where you DC gets accepted,and then go with best fit.         [/quote]
