[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP --- people are jumping on you way too hard.  That's DCUM, unfortunately.

I think you asked a valid question... you are buying a home and it wouldn't actually cost the county any more than it does for your child to go to your zoned school... it's just a differnt location.

[b]When you say "mediocre" -- another way of saying that with a less negative connotation is that the overall composite of student test scores is right in the middle of all Va. students' scores.  That isn't necessarily bad.  What are the test scores for kids in your demographic (race, economic grp)?  Maybe the kids in your demographic are passing the tests at the same level as the kids in the "great" school next door.  Maybe you just have a wider variety of accomplishment (which is not the same as saying you have mediocre teaching) at that school.  [/b]
You could still look into the dashboard and see if that school is open for transfer.  No harm there.  If not, then I think you're doing the right thing to try your local school.... who knows... you might find it's a fit even with more varied test scores.[/quote]

This is so true!  Great advice PP.[/quote]
