[quote=Anonymous]We don't go to Sidwell but another private.  I don't think it's worth PreK or elementary but maybe 5th and on up.  Or 6th MS on up.

There's a lot of families who aren't going to private because of the mystique.  Some families like ours really need it because public would not work for our kid.  With learning disabilities, they need the care of private at some point.  We may not do HS but only MS for example.  Just saying - I don't know if everyone who does private isn't justified on some level so it's not about the prices.

I think that it is however much harder to get into HS unless you're a dream of a public school kid at competitive schools like Sidwell so I get that if you really wanted that Sidwell education, you would get in before you actually had/wanted to get in.  But I think the idea that you get in for HS is quite stupid actually.

Statistically, you're better off in a not great HS if you're a high performing kid.  Going to Alexandria HS if you are a well adjusted and academically bright makes better sense than going to a pressure filled pvt HS.  Going to Sidwell LS or MS and then going to public is another way to make your kid a stronger candidate for a top college because you give them a strong academic foundation.  By HS, they should own their own academic destiny if they are well adjusted kids.   Going to Sidwell for K-8 can only mean seriously that you are filthy rich!!!  LOL[/quote]
