No. Zoned for Wilson. Will stay at Latin. Wilson is too big and would not be a good fit.

Not nearly as hard as kids in the top private schools. Plus, there is much more attention to writing in private school, a skill I see as very important.

Really??? So, in your mind, the kids at Wilson don't work hard?

For what it's worth, I would not have a problem sending my DC to Wilson. However, there are a few other schools application schools that I would also consider.


I think she's wondering how many people will go private vs. Wilson.


Choices aren't just private and Wilson especially since OP posited questions to parents with kids at HRCs or JKLM. There are, of course, DCPS application schools (Banneker, SWW, Ellington) and Charter HS options (Cap City, Latin, Basis, Haynes, DCI)

Maybe. Like PP, its our neighborhood school and many kids in the neighborhood attend, but it is too early to tell what will be the best choice for ours.

Nope. We will do private for high school and maybe even middle school.
