[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thank you for your concern for our finances. We have one child, and it will be less expensive for us to send them through 5 years of private. We would have had to come up with an additional 250k, to get an equivalent home in north Arlington. We made the right choice for our family. I agree that middle and high school are extremely important. That's why I don't want my child at Williamsburg or Yorktown. If money had been no obstacle, we would choose Long Branch/Henry, TJ, W/L or Wakfield. We came as close as we could for our budget. As I said, we all make compromises. [/quote] How on earth is 5 years of private a savings? You don't get that back, if you paid 250k more for a home you pay that down and can recoup that eventually and more. You also have to test into TJ and fairfax county would be the best place to be for TJ admissions not South Arlington. Provide your private school costs, home cost, size / age of your home and neighborhood. Using the above metrics I can show you price appreciation on North Vs South I can guarantee you that I can show you that it would be better financially to invest in North Arlington using public schools.[/quote]
