Same here, I say this as a professional who interacts with families in different school districts. I would not put my own kids in ACPS. Yes, some are in it and do ok. But too many do not. And that's not to say the other local school districts are without faults either, but they are a huge step up from ACPS. [/quote]
I am surprised by the cultural differences between ACPS And APS. Parents in APS complain about everything, loudly and frequently. ACPS feels so much more hush-hush/defensive. [/quote]

Families who stay at the public schools in Alexandria are generally happy. They push through and as long as the child doesn't need more it's fine. Many ACPS families get scared like the OP, aren't willing to chance it and send their kid to private. This makes the group of loud, involved parents who go to school board meetings in Alexandria much smaller.  But these parents are there at every meeting and they are not hush hush. In Arlington families generally send their children to the public schools and that is why you hear more from them. I disagree with the pp personally don't think things are much different in South Arlington. If I was going to move it would be to North Arlington.[/quote]
