[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My son attends Catholic School in the Vienna area. Hands down it is about the community. There is no possible way to articulate how supportive and caring the community at our Catholic School is for my son and family. It is exactly the type of environment that I want my child growing up and learning within and already it has served him so well.  For my husband and I, it is a top priority.

I also have a daughter who is much older and years ago she attended a very good Fairfax public school. Her school was known for its community. Looking back the community there that everyone raved about  does not in any way compare to the sense of family at my son's school. There simply is no comparison and now I wish I sent my daughter to my son's school.[/quote]

This. We live in Fairfax County, but DS goes to a Catholic school in the City of Alexandria.  I certainly don't think he is getting a better education, looking solely at academics, but he is getting a good education (haven't seen anything kids of friends in Fairfax County schools are doing that is beyond what he is doing) plus a faith-based education, the community, etc. He's only in second grade so I suppose that could change in terms of academics.  So far class size has not been an issue for us , 22 or 23 in K, 25 in 1st, 26 in second, always with a teacher and full time aide. I realize for others those numbers might be too big. Our local school does not qualify as one of the few schools deemed good by DCUM standards, but that isn't why we went with Catholoc school. [/quote]
