Sduuude, give you a perspective. I paid a premium to be in this CV school district, and now I'm leaning toward not using the public schools.
For K-6, tentatively I'm thinking about a Montessori school, though I might change my mind. I'm looking at how public schools are these days, and I guess I'm not that impressed. Then again, it's not worse off than it was when I went to it , so i don't know.
I considered LJCD, except the issue i have with it is you do have extremely wealthy parents that send their kids there. I have a couple of friends that send their kids there and the consensus is that while it's good, sometimes some of parents that "donate" more to the school their kids get better attention,etc. At $20k+ year for normal tuition, I don't want my kid to get a "lesser" treatment because some CEO donates $200k to the school each year for instance. Plus, I generally like to have my kid grow up not thinking that everyone is a multi-million+ household.
I heard good things about Jewish Academy. Not sure what it would mean for sending my kid there who obviously isn't Jewish, but it's all good imho.
