[quote=Anonymous]OP: I'm probably in a different place than others on this board. My kids are in FCPS. We are unhappy with the public school one of them attends and are seriously considering private, although it would be a financial hardship for us. We can't afford the $30K range schools, but know there are several in the $20K range in NoVa. They are not the "big names," though, so we worry that the education may not be worth the sacrifice. I think you need to show parents why you are better than FCPS, which is highly regarded by many. I would consider changing my one child to private if I knew it was truly worth the money. I've casually looked at a couple schools and at least one seemed to be behind where DC is in FCPS. I don't love DC's public school, but it does seem to be a waste of money we don't have to send DC to a private that is less academically rigorous. You need to show your value over the FCPS.[/quote]
