| How much of a step up is it compared to public school, how is rigor, and also would you guys recommend it? we’d be commuting from Alexandria. Anything else to know? |

| Not sure why you would commute, BI is very similar as far as academics and extra curriculars |

| If you do commute, there are other SP families in Alexandria so carpooling may be a possibility. |

The local high school sucks so I just want my kid to get a good education no matter the distance. |

Does it hinder academics a lot? |

Ireton is closer and the academics between the two are very similar. Is there something specific that PVI offers that you can’t get at BI? |

| Even against traffic, that's one hell of a commute. The facilities are nice. Academics are okay, on par with the surrounding public schools. |

| Very similar. I’d say Ireton has slightly better academics and PVI has better athletics. |

My kid has friends at Paul vi. Though, BI is a backup. |

| It’s not a step up at all. Look at their college decisions IG page. Graduates mostly admitted to mediocre colleges. |

The distance will matter for your kid hanging out with friends though and being a newly licensed driver going that far everyday. |

College outcomes don’t matter to me. I just want my kid to be relatively challenged. And be in a school with few fights as that’s the main reason why we’re avoiding Alexandria schools. |
