If the situation is as dire as you say, you might consider moving. When you do the cost analysis with a couple of kids, it might be cheaper and better. The academic quality of these large Catholic high schools is comparable to better public schools.[/quote]

Isn't FFX just as bad?  We need to stay close to DC, so moving someplace cheaper where we could afford private won't work for us.  I think the Mclean area is all we could consider.  [/quote]

Seems to me that the answer would be to move somewhere else where the schools are at least "good" and take the money you might spend on a very average Catholic high school an put it into real estate. That expense would be offset by the deductability of mortgage expense and any appreciation you might get.

If the Arlington schools are going to be as bad as you fear, than your current real estate values are going to suffer. And the values in the neighboring counties with better schools will increase because of supply and increased demand (as people flee or do not consider Arlington.)

Or you can stay and spend a ton of money on Catholic schools. That is, if you can get in them with all the increased demand you think will occur because of significant overcrowding in the APS system.[/quote]
