[quote=Anonymous]If you aren't sure, and you end up in Fairfax, Arlington, Montgomery County, or NW DC, you should probably visit the public elementary, browse the curriculum on their district websites, and talk to local parents before choosing private. To answer your question directly, no, in this area not all private schools are better than public schools. Culture is also an issue. I went to good public schools for most of my education and then private school at the end, and while academics may have been marginally better at my private school, the culture was wrong for me, as it was highly focused on sports and there was significant hazing/bullying.[/quote]
