Also some good public high schools in the midwest . . . Minnesota, Wisconsin, and Illinois suburban areas.  [/quote]

+1000    western Minneapolis inner (St. Louis Park) and outer (Lake Minnetonka) suburbs, northern Chicago suburbs (New Trier), East Grand Rapids HS and Grosse Pointe South HS in Detroit.  [/quote]

Who cares? This thread is about Northern Virginia schools and how they compare to the rest of the state. [/quote]
Np. It's a good point, because people act like FCPS (or the DMV public schools in general) are these untouchable institutions of learning to which no other region of the country could possibly compare...and that's just plain silly and not true. [/quote]

As someone mentioned upthread, many of us are transplants.  I came from an excellent pulblic school system elsewhere and think FCPS compares well.  Many of my complaints seem to be more about how they do school and teaching nowadays, rather than specific to my kid's school or Fairfax.  I also know, from friends and family, of some pretty mediocre school systems elsewhere in the country.  [/quote]
