[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I wouldn’t move just for the schools if you otherwise like where you live. A normal kid from a middle-class family that values education is going to do fine in ACPS. Lots of similar kids go on to top colleges and are very successful. I’m not convinced that the schools in Arlington or Fairfax are significantly better. Perhaps private is better, but is it $30k+ a year better? That’s a lot of money that could be used for other kinds of enrichment. I would at least try public and see how it goes.

However, this assumes that your child is neurotypical. I don’t think ACPS is the right choice for kids with special needs, so if that is your situation, I would explore other options. [/quote]

Hi - I am OP and totally forgot about this post that seems to have exploded :) This is an extremely interesting point - about the money going forward enrichment opportunities, etc. Because the cost is more like 45k-50k per kid starting in K which is hard to even imagine. Thank you for this perspective. I have only made it up to this comment so far...onwards! [/quote]
