[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]On another thread, someone suggested that most Ivy grads and high-income families choose private schools, so there aren't many of those in area public schools.  [/quote]

NP here.  That sounds strange.  I think the income level where public school is not your default is a lot higher than 350K. I don't know anyone that makes so much that  they don't blink at spending 60-90K per year (2-3 children) for K-12. Also, I don't see sending your kid to a top scoring public school as some huge risk.  If you are making 350K plus and Ivy League educated and didn't buy/rent in a top public school pyramid and did not choose private school, I would find that newsworthy.[/quote]

We are ivy league educated and earn $700k+. Our kids are not yet school aged but we live in Alexandria in FFX County. For now, we love our house and lifestyle. We live way under our means. Our house is close to TJ so hoping our kids will be able to get in for high school. We are undecided on whether we will move to Arlington/McLean when the kids are older. [/quote]
