[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My children are thriving in APS - but they are well behaved kids who are moderately gifted with no special needs - aka kids who will thrive anywhere. The gifted support provides some additional learning opportunities, but my kids are not multiple grade levels ahead and we support them at home.

APS provides a combination of advantages that work for our family - 
Convenient location for our work commuted and visiting family. 
Kids are exposed to a good variety of socioeconomic and racial diversity. 
Kids are not exposed to too many ultra-wealthy kids, at least for now, we’re zoned for Yorktown. 
There is no academic segregation like AAP. My kids go to the same school and barring redistricting, we know what schools they can go to. We bought our house knowing they could walk to elementary and middle school.

It’s a solid system. I grew up in a small, rural town and many people I know still live there. It may not be the “best” in the MV, but it’s significantly better than most kids in the real USA outside of our privileged NoVa bubble. [/quote]

Out of curiosity, what do you consider ultra-wealthy?  [/quote]
