[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Both systems are terrible, and coast on their student population, the children of parents with advanced degrees and giant incomes to spend on tutoring centers if the home enrichment is not enough. If these kids went to the worst school in Baltimore they'd still do pretty well academically.

FCPS has one major advantage over Loudoun, in that they do offer differentiation in elementary school for particularly bright kids. At the very least, this offers something of a social refuge for advanced kids who want to talk nerdy with their peers.

FCPS's major disadvantage is it is entirely uniparty, whereas Loudoun hasn't finished purging the kulaks. This means that FCPS will leap full force on whatever thing is trendy, whereas implementation in Loudoun can sometimes be moderated or delayed until  a new thing to leap on is available.

The baseline in Loudoun seems to be just a little bit higher for regular students. Not much, but a little.

I'd take whichever house is cheaper and put the rest of your money into Catholic or another inexpensive private.[/quote]
