[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hi OP, I live in PG.  The accepted knowledge around here is that most of the elementary schools are acceptable, but when you get into middle and high school, it's a lot more tricky.  I live here on the assumption that we will try to work with the elementary schools and probably choose private for middle and high school.[/quote]

OP here.  While that is your choice and I respect it, but doesn't that defeat the purpose of you paying taxes to support public education only to pay additional monies for private school?  Again I'm not criticizing you.  That is like parents who live in Garden City NY ( a very wealthy place on LI with very  good schools) sending their kids to private school.  Why?

Why is there such a disconnect (the best I can describe it) between the elementary/middle schools and high schools?  I know everything is test driven (which I'm not a huge fan of) but if you come from a good elementary/middle school why and how does the performance at the high school level drop?  [/quote]
