Public Schools
Albemarle v. Charlottesville

Which is better to educate your junior or juniors: Charlottesville's urban system that spends a lot of money and has incredible music programs with students who win international competitions, or the highly rated Albemarle County system with its mix of rural and/or affluent kids? Or is it the private schools that seem to multiply each year? We can't answer these questions, but we can provide a few leads.
