[quote=Anonymous]Hi OP, this seems to have gone slightly off the rails, so let's see if we can bring it back some. (unlikely, I know) We aren't zoned for Mason but we are zoned for another well-regarded elementary in the city. We decided on private for our child and she is currently in K with kids who chose private over Mason due to the upcoming turmoil from construction. The issue with ACPS is less the elementary schools and more the middle and high school. I would look at those and determine whether you are ok with how they are or if you would be ok moving your child to private at middle school. I personally knew that I didn't want to move to private later and would rather have her start in private, so we made that decision for K. My main concerns were the overcrowding and violence at GW along with the refusal to build a second high school rather than just the second campus. I think if it looked like the school board and administration were starting to make better choices I would have been more willing to give ACPS a try, but their history of poor choices just does not give me confidence in the schools.
