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 such incredible music programs with students who win
international competitions, or the highly rated Albemarle
County School system with its mix of rural and/or affluent
kids? Or is it pesky private schools that seem to multiply
each year? We can't answer these questions, but we can
provide a few leads.
