5.0 out of 5 stars Extremely Informative, October 1, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Georgia Irvin's Guide to Schools: Metropolitan Washington, Independent and Public / Pre-K - 12 (Paperback)

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.

1.0 out of 5 stars Waste of time, February 13, 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: Georgia Irvin's Guide to Schools: Metropolitan Washington, Independent and Public / Pre-K - 12 (Paperback)

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.

2.0 out of 5 stars 33pgs are OK, The rest is just a reference, March 14, 2007

By	Anthony M. Pelletti "Tony P" (OH => DC) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

If you want a basic idea of what you need to do to get your kid into a school and some basics, this is not a bad book. The first 33 pages has some good information but its only 33 pages. This information is likely available elsewhere on the internet. I give this 4 stars for the first 33 pages and 2 stars for the rest.

The rest of the book is a listing of schools and information on them. There is nothing in the listing that will give you rankings of the school nor recommendation so its just a reference and a list of all the schools. Most if not all the info you can get of the net but it is nice to have it all in one place so finding all the school online becomes easier. Worth $5-7 so get it used.

This book is much better than the 13th ed of Independant school guide. The format is much better and easier to read and the front pages are better.
