In re Virginia, it's a big and very diverse state. The school systems around the D.C. area (on the Virginia side and Montgomery County, Maryland) are very good to excellent. But when I went there back in the mid-1980s, I learned that there was still one public school in far southwest Virginia that had dirt floors. My point is that where you are in Virginia makes all the difference.
