[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]All these things you can find in good public school districts.[/quote]

Most public school parents are ignorant about how bad public school education is because they have no point of comparison, especially those who are Millennials and Gen Z.

The best school district in VA is Falls Church. At the high school level, it is no match for Sidwell, NCS/STA, GDS, or Potomac. [/quote]

I read this thread because I send child to one of these schools from Nova.  My experience with my neighborhood cohort from is: they are just as educated — if not more so — than the private school set.   [b]This is because those schools place a huge emphasis on financial aid so there are many UMC kids.[/b]   Not true in my neighborhood.  Things change when you are talking about the local really great public HS which feeds from several neighborhoods.   But the idea that my neighbors are stupid is ignorant.   They are oft times hug believers in public schools.  Nova is a big place.   [/quote]

Who places a huge emphasis on financial aid? 
At most of the schools you listed above, 75% to 80%+ of families pay the total cost (tuition, plus fees). Walking the walk is much harder than talking the talk. [/quote]
