[quote=Anonymous]NOVA and Montgomery County moms are very provincial regarding education everywhere else.

I got to be that way while living there. FCPS? It's the gold standard!

Then we moved to rural Virginia and you know what? The schools were just as good, if not better in some ways. Smaller class sizes. Better-behaved students. Teachers who were approachable, and kind, and good role models. Lessons that weren't just another Lockheed Martin?Northrup Grumman generic print out packet to fill out. Haven't seen any of those here, actually. The teachers engage the student in new and different ways.

Our oldest got into the same excellent universities as their NOVA counterparts. And was soooo much happier as a high school student once we got her out of the DMV. Night and day! It isn't only academics, it is social-emotional development, as well.

You have to remember that Virginia ranks fourth nationally in terms of K-12 education.

You must assess the overall strength of K-12 education in the state you would like to move to. How strong is education overall? How strong is the statewide curriculum?[/quote]
