[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If I could do it all over again, I'd get a much cheaper home and save my money for private school.  I don't think anything in FCPS is very good.[/quote]

Pains me to say this, but long, long ago my late father scrimped, saved, researched and even visited schools to determine the best FCPS HS pyramids for his large family. Dad was proudly Jesuit-educated from elementary to masters and only briefly considered Catholic schools. He determined the area  parochial schools were inferior to FCPS.

How the tide has turned. DH and I are FCPS alumni and so also educated DC in FCPS. We have seen firsthand how our schools have declined precipitously.

If we had to do all over, we’d have gone private.[/quote]

I could have written this.  My parents also scrimped, saved, and researched in order to send my siblings and I to FCPS, which was (at the time) one of the very best school districts around.  We lived in the least expensive house they could find in the best school district.  The education we received really was world-class.

Our kids, also FCPS graduates, sadly did not receive the excellent education that I did.  We would definitely have gone private had we only known - at least for elementary and middle.  High school has actually been really good for my kids.[/quote]
