[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This question is asked at least once a month. Nobody can tell you what is "worth it" to your family. I think the best way to approach this is to define the problem with public school that you want to address by moving to private. [/quote] We are in FCPS. Our teens are finishing up and headed to college soon. We have had a front-row seat to the decline of FCPS. Standards have dropped dramatically. Teachers are fleeing in droves. The schedule is a disaster. FCPS claims to have a “budget crisis” but they created their own mess with increasingly wasteful spending. The one academic refuge is the AAP program (required by the Commonwealth), but even that has been dramatically watered down as much as FCPS can get away with. We are saving now to pay for private school if we ever become grandparents.[/quote]
