[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kid is still in early elementary school, so maybe I'll feel differently in a few years. But so far I like the philosophy of not separating kids, especially when they're so young and impressionable. I see them having a positive influence on each other. We did end up doing a supplementary math program this year, which maybe wouldn't be necessary if there were a more robust gifted services program. I'm just not convinced that the FCPS pressure cooker, or the private school rich-kid culture, are necessarily better than what APS offers.[/quote]

We are trying to figure this out. [b]Is it worth the move to Fairfax or Montgomery County for their better school systems?[/b] Is private a better option? I am really struggling with thinking this through. [/quote]

Tbh, yes.  People don't pick APS for the academics.  They pick it for the location/proximity to DC.  [/quote]

Nope.  Land is generally cheaper in FFX.  People buy the best they can afford.   No open in APS can afford Kalorama so we are here.  But many of us can afford not Fairfax.   [/quote]
