[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would recommend going public for elementary and looking at "the Big Three" for middle or high school when you know more about your child's learning style and can pick the right school.  Most public  elementary schools are just fine, and I think the kids get a nice sense of community.[/quote]

I agree, from personal experience. We found that our local public elementary prepared our DC very well for entry in 7th grade to a top private. And, no, I do not believe that the public elementary has be be "as good" as the private elementary in order for the education in a public elementary to be an option.

I hope everyone will continue to post their opinions based on their experiences at schools. I do not agree with the idea that, in order to post here, one has to support an opinion with objective data. I can find the objective data as well as anyone lese; what I want from this forum is others' views. I can make my own judgements about the credibility or value of a post. I wouldn't want SAM2's request,  that posters give evidence supporting their opinions, to havb a chilling effect on the haring of opinions in this forum.[/quote]

There are not many spots available at the middle school leve which is why ppl start enrolling in the younger grades.  Many of the DC publics have good elem. and then the middle and HS are less desirable making many more students vying for the very few avail spots.  I wouldn't necessarily bank on doing this since I know several that were in a horrible situation at the middle school level and couldn't get into any privates.[/quote]
