[quote=Anonymous]OP, we have had our kids in public APS since K, but moved (and moving last one next year) to private HS and opted out of W-L. We heard enough from parents with older kids and didn't like the direction APS is headed. Our oldest is a Sophomore in a private HS and it has been a fantastic experience for him (and us!). Not dealing with the BS and the academics are much, much better. He actually has to earn those As now. And, the courses are much more in depth and require a lot more thinking/questioning. Not the teach to the test. The privates vary widely, so you can see which one fits your particular kid the best if you choose to go that route. We now aren't tied to Arlington, but like our current home/neighborhood/neighbors. But, we could move back to DC now if we wanted without having to be tied to a school zone.[/quote]
