[quote=Anonymous]Mason neighborhood is really amazing though.  Great parents and safe neighborhood.  PTA is strong at Mason.  K-3 no problem.  I think you have to see how your kid is.  I know a LOT of amazing families whose kids are at public middle school and doing well.  It 10000% depends on your kids.  Public will work - I know ACPS sucks and my kids are in private because of anxiety and learning disability - but it absolutely can work for your kid.  You aren't going to know though until after K.  I'd try Mason and then figure it out from there.  There's actually quite a lot of kids in the neighborhood in public.  Typically the ones who go private have specific situations (like mine) that make going to a less than ideal public really difficult, esp in MS and esp at Alex MS.

No doubt ACPS is the most screwed up org there ever is but I'm just saying that it's not all crazy dumb kids in MS there.  Quite honestly, on the social level, my kids are better off with those in the Mason neighborhood who are all in public - not the ones in our private school who def have issues in one respect or another.  Don't get me wrong - we made the right decision - academically and socially pubic would not have worked for our kids (we'll never know for sure but it's a chance we couldn't take) but I'm just suggesting that private school culture is very different and if I had to choose, I would still choose the public school culture - it's like 100000% easier for a parent LOL![/quote]
