[quote=Anonymous]Visit schools in areas you are interested in. I agree that Great Schools scores are a proxy for SES. Most public schools in Fairfax county (where I live) are very good. I wouldn’t stress about getting into an 8-10 rated school. We’ve been here for 15 years. No redistricting issues so far. One thing we didn’t count on was having 2 kids who need additional resources for learning disabilities, one of them significant. Fairfax county has been good at supporting them with IEPs, but we still may be looking at alternatives for at one child. Buy a house in a neighborhood you can afford and like. School needs may very well change. [/quote]
