[quote=Anonymous]Which School really isn’t likely to make a big difference in outcomes. As long as the school isn’t truly terrible/unsafe, and offers many AP and/or IB options, kids of the same demographic makeup will perform similarly regardless of where they go to school. The biggest predictor is parental education & SES. That’s of course why all the “good” schools are in neighborhoods where houses cost millions of dollars. So if you want to move to VA for in-state college tuition, go for it. Look for a neighborhood you like and can afford. You don’t need Yorktown or McLean for your kid to learn, do well, and get into a good college (& in fact these “rich” schools have their own problems). Good luck. [/quote]
