[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]"Afford" is flexible. We can "afford" the better school, but it is $200K more than other zones. The question is: Is the end result actually better at the "avoid" schools b/c of less competition? Let's assume the educational experience is better at the "great schools" --- is that more or less important than getting into a better college? Just for an example -- is the educational experience/peer/teachers at a school like Madison/McLean important enough that you would take that over a school like Edison/Hayfield/Annandale if your child's likely to get into JMU coming from Madison/McLean but might have a better shot getting into WM/VT/UVA from the latter group of HSs? [/quote] We picked Lake Braddock/Robinson/West Springfield for exactly those reasons, among others. [/quote]
