way better.  a handful of ESs, one MS, one HS. 200-400 kids per grade. can customize.

large county systems are just tax revenue sink holes and underachiever administrators in lifer roles destroying value weekly.

Yep. Chappaqua has 3 ESs, 2 MSs, and one HS. I grew up there and it would have been insane and unthinkable to have a Westchester County School System, since not only do 980,000 people live there, but the needs of Chappaqua are vastly different than, say, Yonkers or other southern parts of the county. If you proposed that to anyone there, they’d think you had gone insane. [/quote]

Chappaqua is one of the hundred richest places in the United States. Of course residents of Chappaqua (median family income $180,000, population 1,500) don't want their kids to be in the same school system as kids from Yonkers (median family income $53,000, population 200,000).

Referring to Chappaqua as a typical town-run school system is like referring to Michael Phelps as a typical swimmer.[/quote]
