[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DH went to an Ivy for grad school.

Our kids started at a private school for preschool. We left after K. A good school, but just not worth the $. We are now at a Title 1 public elementary in APS and are very, very happy.

HHI is well above 400K depending on his bonus. [/quote]

PP here.  I have to say when I hear this, I am surprised.  Not so much that you could be happy at APS, because I do think APS has great options but that you could afford to send your kid either to private or a low FARMS/top test score public school but chose public school anyway and had the faith it would work out.[/quote]

We aren't the only family with similar HHI's at our school who made the same choice. It's the best thing we did for our children and our family. I didn't say this before but my graduate work is in education so we made an (for lack of a better word) educated decision. My children are receiving a better education than they were at our 30K plus per year private school. The teachers are stronger, there is more individualization and they're more challenged. Moreover, it's "real" at our current school. People are more genuine and kind and there's less of a bubble surrounding our kids. [/quote]
