[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thank you so much for your valuable information!
Regarding your points:
2) a) Yes I overlooked that important aspect. My kids are AAP as well. So there's no equivalent program in the SV public school system?
b) So in the most high-income parts of SV, is the public school system education quality good enough for the money (like those areas you mentioned)? Or is FCPS far better regardless? (I was looking at metrics like greatschools which show they are equivalent but I don't trust these numbers much)
3)Regarding education policy: 
a)When you say it is not politically charged, is it maybe because there is no resistance from conservative families because they are a tiny minority and fear social pressure or retaliation?
b)I know about the bad story on closed schools, I assume pandemic is over and they won't close again
4+5)Would a private school be viable to get better education quality and get rid of liberal politics if living in a cheaper area (as long as it is safe)?

Thanks again![/quote]

I’m not that PP, but regarding politically charged, it’s because conservative in Silicon Valley usually means libertarian. Book banning from either the right or the left is deeply unpopular, for instance. So it’s not like the extremely fraught politics you get in VA school districts.  Also, there is generally more diversity which means people get used to bumping into ideas that aren’t comfortable to them. [/quote]
