[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here, learning a lot thanks to all the PPs. Someone mentioned school shootings. There are on my mind, even if they are very rare generally. Not sure a private school is less likely to be a target though; don't these seem to have a pattern of former students who were bullied coming back for "revenge," and aren't privates known to be pressure cookers more so than public schools? Having neighbourhood friends seems like it would be a big plus, at least in a pandemic, but then so much time is spent in school that perhaps this effect is marginal. -- In terms of academics, [b]are privates more rigorous on average,[/b] or is the fact that no one is "below grade," as a PP noted, a function of their family background?[/quote] Maybe on average, but, on average, the top cohort at a W or a top FCPS school will be as rigorous if not more rigorous especially in math.
