[quote=Anonymous]OP— parents, peers... they both matter. Look for a decent public school district in the area where you like the parents and feel like they are raising kids with similar values to your own. Head over to the tween and teen board and look at all the tweens with iPhone drama. Much easier to say no as kids get older if they aren’t the only kid who doesn’t... date at 13, have an iPhone at 10, gett served underage by friends parents, etc.  Who are your friends? Where do they love? Is it a decent school district? How do you feel about the parenting style?  Look there.

You don’t need to have this figured out now.  For the first few years of ES, any school with a good environment and decent academics, public or private, should be fine. Then, get to know your kid and see where your family is. In FCPS, a highly gifted kid might do very well in a TJ feeder zone, while above average with athletic talent would be better at Madison or the Burke area schools.

I tend to think a good public is your answer. But a good public is not good for all kids. Wait and see where your family, and your kid and any future siblings are in 6-8 
Years,, then decide. Lots of good schools in this area— public and private. You’ll find on that works. [/quote]
