[quote=Anonymous][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]
If you have a smart kid who wouldn't get into AAP, I'd choose Arlington where they're more likely to mixed with more advanced kids.[/quote]

Please show my any evidence that college outcomes differ at all by attending a Fairfax HS over YHS/W&L.  You can’t.  [/quote]
