[quote=Anonymous]We are looking at transitioning from private to public for HS.  One of the cons about moving in my mind is the loss of the college guidance office at our private.  They have a whole process and schedule for working with students and parents starting in 9th grade.  I went to FCPS and got no assistance from my guidance counselor beyond processing my requests for transcripts.  My husband went to FCPS and got about the same level of assistance.  My friends' kids who are applying to college from public school are largely underwhelmed by the process.  Most of them report getting valuable advice from other parents, but report that their kids' schools are pretty lackluster.  I am not excited by the thought of that level of effort for my kid.

If we do decide to make the move, we would be at Woodson in FCPS or at Riverside in LCPS (haven't decided where we would move if we go public).  Does anyone have any recent experience with Woodson's college admissions process?  Riverside just opened so no one has any experience with its process, but I would also be interested to hear from anyone entering the school and if you have gotten any information from the school on what to expect.
