[quote=Anonymous]I would try George Mason before you do private or move. You may be pleasantly surprised. Yes, it might be harder to switch to a different school midway through elementary, but with so much money at stake, don’t you want to know that you gave the least expensive option a shot? I attended a different private school in Alexandria from prek-8, then went to T.C. Williams (now ACHS) for high school. I got a good education at both. I have friends who did private prek-12 (including SSSAS), and friends who did ACPS all the way through. We all got into similarly selective colleges and have had similar life outcomes. Granted, that was over 20 years ago, but I think the same holds true today based on the families I know now. So if you have typical children, I’d try public. However, if there are special circumstances (ADHD, learning disabilities, extreme giftedness), then maybe that changes your calculations.[/quote]
