[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What percentage of the J-H population is well-educated, middle-class + families? [/quote]

If that's all that mattered, why even bother considering public rather than home schooling? [b]There isn't a single MCPS or FCPS school (let alone DCPS, ACPS, APS, or PGCS) with a large percentage of students with parents from selective colleges and DCUM standard middle-class incomes [/b]($200k+).  In the real DC metro area, most children are not white, have incomes well below $100k, and live with just one parent at some point in their childhood.

Oh, and make sure you tell the private school admissions staff that you're applying to stay away from that population and see how you fare in the application process. [/quote]

I would considered a middle-class family with an income of 80k on up and well-educated as parents with college degrees, personally. There are many elementary schools where the *vast* majority of students are middle class or upper-middle class. Especially in the very suburban areas of Fairfax (not as familiar with MCPS). No need to homeschool, just move.[/quote]
