[quote=Anonymous]Honestly, isn't this whole thread a little backwards? The problem with most NoVa schools isn't that the school isn't good enough to prepare people for elite schools -- they all are. The problem is that a lot of these colleges don't want to take thousands of kids from this area, so it's tougher to get in.

I actually know someone who is thinking of moving to another state in part because it'll be easier to get into a better college. I know -- that's counterproductive, because they'll likely get a lesser high school education -- but the fear behind it isn't totally irrational.

If your school only produces a couple of Ivy Leaguers each year and the rest of the school is struggling, you may actually be the lucky one.

Or you could just get a grip and realize that everything's going to be shaken up in the 12 years your kid has left before college, and it's better to focus on having a positive experience than making irrational life choices based on pretty much nothing.[/quote]
