[quote=Anonymous]We had our kids in private for elementary school and consciously decided our local MoCo public school was a better fit on things that mattered for our kids with where they are developmentally, socially, and academically. The private we were at in DC was too small, socially stifling, bad cohort of new teachers, and was only okay for academics despite all the people who rave about it on DCUM.

We had a great year at our local Bethesda public school. There were trade offs for sure but DC really enjoyed having neighborhood friends, had less social drama at school bc of the ability to have a wider circle and choice of friends, was academically challenged, and was much happier.  We saw huge growth in independence and ability to self advocate. For now it meets DCs needs. There may be other privates we would like better but my plan is to reassess schools after a year of middle school or when DC reaches high school. We can easily afford private but the benefits of private (small class sizes) are not in my kids best interest right now. [/quote]
