[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm not naming it because I don't want the debate to get very specific about a particular school. Think 5 or 6 on GreatSchools measurements, vs. the "excellent" publics that rate more like a 9 or 10. [/quote]

We are in the exact same situation except we live in a $900k that is half paid off and we would move to a $1.5 million home in McLean or similar. We have 2 young kids who are not yet school aged. We plan to send our kids to the ok public school (rated 5 on greatschools) and hope that they get into the neighboring AAP center (rated 9 on greatschools). If and when we feel the public school option is inadequate, we will go the private school route. Zoned middle school and high school are ok (rated 7). HS seems to have good college acceptances if you are top of your class.

We love our house, our neighborhood, the area, our commutes to work, etc. Would rather keep our house than move to a house that is probably smaller and older than our current house just to live in McLean. Often good school districts are overcrowded and large class sizes are a concern. Our school seems to have smaller class sizes compared to other Fairfax county schools, probably due to the less than stellar academic reputation.[/quote]

Also wanted to add that the people we know in McLean seem to send their kids to private school despite the supposed excellent public schools.[/quote]
