[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DC is an average child. Average in academics mostly B’s and few A’s in 7th grade.  Was not in FCPS AAP program. No competitive music or sports. Done and still participating in quite a few extracurriculars but only recreational. 
Zoned for Langley high school. Is it worth trying private for an average child considering they are $50,000 a year? May need to look into average privates like Flint hill.  
What kind of career path an average child has as NOVA area is highly competitive. UVA and good VA colleges seem out of reach if DC doesn’t improve in high school. Out of state has better chances if we pay full tuition, which we are also ready at this point. Should we consider private high school or let DC go to Langley and the spend $ on US east, out of state college? [/quote]

There's no shame in being an average student, but you'll need to lower your college expectations. UVA is hard to get into regardless of where your child goes to high school. If he wants to do better academically, he probably would benefit from a local private school just because he'll get extra attention and the classes are smaller — whether that's FH or somewhere else. I wouldn't make any decisions based solely on this forum's opinions.[/quote]
