I have heard good things about schools and living out there. Good luck!

The schools out here are fine. Kettle Run is the strongest of the county’s 3 high schools. We’ve found the community very welcoming, my kids love it here. Academically it’s as hard as you want to make it, but it is definitely missing that hyper competitive element of the schools closer in. We also don’t have the overcrowding issue that the districts closer in have which has been the difference my kids have felt the most, in a good way.

not that great its Fauquier county

we are thinking about moving but might just do a smaller religious private school even though we aren't religious, it just sucks we are throwing away our taxes. I heard trump might help w/ private school vouchers piggybacking off of the 10k thing for homeschooling
