On returning to live in the DC area with two small children after having lived in another part of the country, I picked up this book and found a wealth of useful information about schools. The book not only gives practical information, but provides thoughtful and rare insight into the various strengths and weaknesses of each school, as well as valuable guidance on how to pick the best school for a particular child. I recommend this book highly.
Trolling the school web sites gave me more information than this book. It's very factual and really doesn't get into school character, etc.
This book is just fine if all you want is the private school closest to you, or want very cut and dry facts which you can find for free at the schools websites or in their prospectus. If you are looking for insider information, or anything to tell you what the school is really like, look elsewhere. I recommend saving your money for your kid's education.
This book was an excellent tool and was very informative. Facts gained from this book helped us narrow our selection and ultimately our school. We have attended WES for the past 5 years and have been extremely happy.Catherine
