[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is why people pay for top privates. 
The DC Big3 privates (this year) sent 20% to the Ivy League and another 20% to other top 20 universities and another 20% to top 20 liberal arts colleges and another 20% to universities ranked 20-50..  [/quote]

Correlation is not causation. People who can send their kids to the Big 3 also tend to be those who have an edge for these universities. The big publics, even in Arlington, educate the population as a whole as a matter of right, not just a subsection as a matter of privilege. There's value in elite private education, but there is immense social value in public education that has nothing to do with college admissions.[/quote]

This is why we send our kids to the public school. We can afford a private, but we are all in on public education. One kid just started at an Ivy, and another one is a senior. I wouldn't change a thing. Over and above just the cost savings, I am so grateful to have quality public education in Virginia.[/quote]
