[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op here. I am not well informed about publics in this area as I disclosed that I am not from this area so I am not as familiar with the various public options here. I am doing my research and I have to start somewhere. I am not just looking at the public school forum, but looking at other sources too. No one in our social circle or neighborhood sends their kids to public school. I have no local colleagues as I work for a company based out of California. Our zoned public elementary school in fairfax county got a 3 on that great schools site and we drive by it all the time, it has rows upon rows of trailers in which students have classes so I know at least at the elementary level we must do private. But the tuition doesn't make anyone else wonder? I can't be the only one. Admittedly, no school is perfect, but this is a high traffic site so it is for someone like me a place to start to get some insight on public schools in order to then find someone out there to dispel or confirm the reveiws.

You are spending $40L/year to avoid trailers? Have you been in one? [/quote]

She said her school was a 3 out of 10 so that's reason enough there to attend private if you can afford it. Most people around here have a negative view of education that takes place in a trailer. When I moved here, the obnoxious partner at my law firm grilled me about when I said I was buying a house and then started listing the problems with the public school in the area. He specifically mentioned the trailers as a minus so I think it's an issue for many in this area. FWIW, I don't send my 1 kid to private because of trailers, I just do because we can afford it with one kid.[/quote]
