[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's also this area.  Neither my DH nor I are from here, and we do not get the school culture at all.  Our nephew who goes to high school in a different area of the country is still getting a good education but without the hyper-competitive BS.[/quote]

Yep.  We moved away when my kids entered high school.  We moved back after they graduated.  It only took one year of high school for us to realize that we would not put our kids through high school anywhere in this area. Blaming the schools is a cop out.   This comes from parents.  You are the ones driving the schools.  For heaven's sake, just read this board. Hyper focus on money, power, job title, and climbing the social ladder.  The bullying of anyone who doesn't live up to some ridiculous definition of success. My kids are high achievers. I have a national merit scholar who went to college on a full academic scholarship.  Lake Braddock was tough even for her.  It's not just the horrific suicides.  How many of your kids are suffering from anxiety disorders or depression? How many in therapy? On medication?  Between school, homework, camps, tutoring, sports, music,....when do they rest? When do they just hang out? Every second of their lives is scheduled. Just like their parents.  That is no way to live.

I went to LB in the 90's. It wasn't always like that. There was a thread about the low performing schools in FFX. I imagine any of the " unacceptable " schools would be a healthier environment.
