[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]In this area it seems to be that if you can’t afford private you just make do with APS.  Any other public system in the DMV area is going to be similar with similar issues. If you’re going to move you’d need to move completely out of the area. [/b]

If you’re feeding into WL I’m guessing you’re Swanson?  It gets better at W-L although I don’t know about overcrowding in he coming years.

We opted out of APS. [/quote]

NP: THIS. You're going to find similar issues in the whole DMV public systems due to over-crowding, political correctness, COVID issues, boundary squabbles etc etc. IMO, your choices are basically: Deal with it/stay in APS (I don't think Fairfax/Loudoun is worth the move), Homeschool, Go Private, or move completely out of the area.

We moved 2 states away last summer (leaving an Option elementary)- We have ZERO regrets and are getting a better public education despite the idea that APS is "among the best." But of course it was easier for us because one of our jobs was mobile and the other could transfer.

Good luck. [b]This forum will criticize you and say you're being demanding. You are not.[/b] Anecdotally several of our not Type A/laid-back friends in Arlington were shocked by the APS COVID response and overcrowding and are much happier now in local Lutheran schools.[/quote]
