NP-We know a family that went for third and then came back to our base school (last year), because their child wasn't happy at Bull Run. I think it is a much bigger school and maybe more of an institutional/rigid feel. [/quote]

Would you know why the child was not happy?  Bad teachers?  Poor instruction?  Lack of rigor in academics?  Anything like that?

I don't think going back to Virginia Run is an option for us.  The school was fine, her teacher was great, but DD was miserable.  She would come home and cry every day, because she felt that her "brain was rusting" (yeah, seriously; someone's a bit melodramatic), and although she did her best to show her teacher she could do more challenging work, nothing really came of it.  We can go back to private, but $, and the commute is hell-ish.  As long as the academics are decent, she will be okay.

I wish the forums were not anonymous; it would be easier to update people on how the experience is, a few months into next year.[/quote]
