[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. So this is what I have based on all your information (thank you all again for your inputs).
1. Public schools throughout CA are terrible compared those in Fairfax (dumbed-down "equitable" math, low scores nationwide etc.) So getting my kids into a private school with a decent curriculum is a hard requirement (and hopefully pick one with as less as progressive stuff as possible).
2. Assuming my kids got admitted into a good private school, I am looking at roughly $80K tuition for both. Which leaves me with $150K-$170K-ish (pre-tax) assuming my spouse works. Looks like areas in or near SV are out of the question just because my income is not sufficient. Commuting 1.5 - 2hrs twice a week would be barely tolerable for me. That area should be as safe as Fairfax. Is there such an area? (If not, I guess the discussion ends here and I just decline the offer).[/quote]

Have then go to St Francis in MV (great records from my secular mom friends) and live in good parts of MV and you will have a nice life. Don’t decline! CA is horribly run but it’s a great place to spend a few years because even the most horrible management can’t extinguish the nature and weather! And smartest people around you! [/quote]

OPs kids aren’t getting into St. Francis. [/quote]
Why not?![/quote]
