[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A small upstate city is way different than underperforming semi-suburban school district. Most importantly, you will be lumped in Washington DC demographics so will not have geographic edge to get into excellent college like you did. [b]And peer effects. It’s fine if your kids truly are like you, but if kids aren’t influenced by peers, I want academics and college to be priority (unlike where I grew up where drinking was priority and no career plans)[/quote] [/b] Pretty much every HS in NoVA will have a good-sized cohort of smart, achievement-oriented kids.[/quote] Stated differently, every school in NoVa will have at least as many smart, achievement-oriented kids as the school with the fewest.
