That’s unfortunate. We are in BevHills, with kids in public and private (mixed household) and all the kids in the surrounding streets, from public and a variety of privates, play together regularly.

Westover, Arlington. I have elementary age kids and we know 2-3 families at Congressional and 4-5 families split between St Agnes, St Ann, and St Thomas. One more family we know is contemplating private middle school for their autistic child. We know 1 family each at Montessori, ATS and Key - the countywide option schools.

This is probably a slight increase (to various privates) from 10, even 5 years ago.


Does it tend to be higher in Alexandria City or Fairfax County?

Some wait until high school. I'm not sure if it's that the neighborhood has turned into a $2.5-3 million price tag for a new home or if it's because of the result of Covid and dissatisfaction with the results of that. Probably a combo of both. What I keep hearing from people that have kids college/post-college with another kid still in the APS system is what a downhill turn it has been.


Interesting. Which neighborhood?

We are in a similar neighborhood and the % is closer to 20-25%, up some from pre-covid, but still not 50%.

Same in Baltimore (Lauraville) and every child on my street goes to private.

Seemed clear. All public all the way, except for one for high school.

Sumner, Bethesda. My block is 75% private, but overall I think the neighborhood is probably 75% public.
