[quote=Anonymous]I will add the perspective of someone that has an older child in parochial school and a younger one at FCPS:

I'd suggest a lot of research into the parochial school. Overall, I would not do it again. I'm not really of the opinion that they are necessarily better just because you pay tuition.  I find FCPS to better and more uniformly resourced, and in my experience the teachers have been more responsive and they have understood my kid or when they didn't they reached out to the parents.  I've found the parochial to have a couple of teachers that have been there forever - and not in a good way - very rigid and not at all willing to make any changes. I don't find the parochial to be much more advanced than FCPS academically or facilities-wise.  And at our parochial school, there are a few families that have multiple kids at the school and there's certainly a perception that those folks have more of a voice as to how things are run than others.

I do like the community at the parochial and the parents - that it's small made it easy to make friends with other parents. My older child is still there b/c we're moving next year and didn't want child switching schools multiple times.  If we were not moving, child would already be in an FCPS school.

Hopefully your daughter will adjust and do great!  Good luck![/quote]
