[quote=Anonymous]I was in this dilemma last year and chose private over Yorktown. I have one other child already in APS high schools but he will graduate next year. I still have younger ones that I haven't decided about yet. The cost of privates are a killer when you think about the fact that we pay a lot to live in Arlington, largely due to the reputation of the schools. I don't know which schools you are considering but I will say that the social aspect is much different than it was for my older child. The kids from the private are so scattered about that there is no impromptu hanging out type of stuff that I think can be important in high school. You also don't really get to know many of the other parents as well as you might if you were at a "neighborhood" school. I don't know if your kid is an athlete but sports at the privates are a lot different, as well.[/quote]
