[quote=Anonymous]I’m with you, OP. We have one in DCPS ECE and one in 1st, and love the strong community at our neighborhood school. But we are already seeing that it is not where we want it to be academically and that it only looks to get worse in the higher grades. At the same time, we are unsure about “fitting in” with the crowd in the private system. We can afford it, but don’t feel like we travel in the same circles as some of the people I know at those schools. Our kids were in some summer camps at the big name privates and we felt so disconnected and a little different from the other parents. Add to that the challenge of different entry points, the fact that there are some possible solutions to the MS/HS quandry in DCPS, and the general uncertainty of the process, and it’s overwhelming. But maybe we will start by attending some open houses and will just go from there. [/quote]
