[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Honestly do you think a school will be able to tell you they will not be able to support your kid when they know they can easily get 30k a year from you in this era of diversity and inclusion? All private schools, whether parochial or not are run like businesses these days... sorry to say.[/quote]

This is such a weird (and really negative) reply.

I have an older child who doesn't have these issues and I am CERTAIN that there are plenty of highly competitive DMV schools that would not be a good match for this sort of student.  Having gone through placement with the older child and knowing their classmates that have some hurdles and/or might need support - it was my experience that the competitive schools   are up front in saying they don't provide support or accommodations (kid needs to work it out) and/or would just not accept the student. There are plenty of families to pay full tuition whose kids don't need support.[/quote]

This isn't a " weird" comment at all- its slightly cynical, but its pretty much the unvarnished truth about the vast majority of DMV Privates below the top 3 schools.

If you want to put the wallet biopsy to the test,[b] apply for your DC to TJ and Banneker[/b] AND ( insert name of lower rung DC Private ) and[b] see if they are welcomed with open arms at TJ [/b]as well as Lowell, Burke, Field, WIS, Potomac, Landon,Bullis, St Andrews, SSAES, Sandy Springs

And the answer will tell you what your full pay tuition status is buying you in the so called " elite Private school world" [/quote]
