Our family is considering relocating and consider quality schools to be a major factor in determining where we'll live. I was wondering if anyone felt they had such a school system where they lived. If you'd care to contribute, please mail me where you live, the school system, and why you like it. I'll be happy to post a summary if anyone's interested. Thanks! Steve Wampler ucbvax!sbw@arizona

Thanks! > Steve Wampler I live in Fairfax County, VA (10 miles from Washington D.C.) and it's supposed to have THE best school district in the country (that's what the local school authorities and newspapers claim; even if it is not THE best, I am convinced it's probably in the top five). Enormous amounts of money are spent in public education, library systems, recreational/educational activities in Fairfax county. Also, Reston (where I live) is a small town 20 miles from Washington DC and is almost tailor made for families with small/school-going children. I don't have any children myself, but from the local newspapers and the statistics they give, and from what I have seen (I've visited many local schools for adult education and evening classes) I have no doubt that Fairfax County school district has to be one of the best. Also, pay of the teachers here is among the highest in the country. - Raghu
