[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s worth every penny if you live in DC. [/quote]

+1. Especially if you live outside the Deal/JR zone.[/quote]

And Deal and JR are not what they once were.   The behavior issues and lack of discipline and teacher turnover make each of these places truly subpar.  Private if you can do so.[/quote]

As a parent of DCPS children EOTP, we have done our absolute best to supplement at home, enrich our lives via extracurriculars, but my children are absolutely fatigued with the chaos and misbehavior they are subject to every day at their DCPS. The main takeaway my 8th grader has had from his shadow days at privates is how much more control the teachers have over the classroom, how responsive and cooperative the kids are at the school, and how much easier it was to focus on the lesson. I certainly don't look forward to the strain that private school will put on my lower middle class/ borderline working class family budget (thats IF we even get in with financial aid), but my child is begging for an environment where the majority of children WANT to succeed and be challenged.
