[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why on earth would you want to?

You can in Falls Church City but I want to say it was $17k when we looked into it. [/quote]

You pick the school?[/quote]

Have you looked at FCC?  There’s only one school for each level. No you don’t get to pick. [/quote]

Well, they want to go to a better school than FCPS, so why would they look at Falls Church City?[/quote]

You do realize FCPS and FCC are completely different school systems.  FCC is better than all 3 of the neighboring systems. [/quote]

Yes I do and no it isn’t. Much like a private school, it’s successful because it’s small, rich and exclusive to families who have the means to make it successful, not because the schools are great. [/quote]

But isn't the average kid going to learn more in that kind of an environment than surrounded by kids with less support at home?[/quote]

That would require The average kid’s family to be able to afford to live there in the first place, which they can’t. Just like private school, the cost of entry is prohibitive for almost everyone.[/quote]

Moreover, the average family pays a premium for Arlington schools, especially north of rt 50. [/quote]
