What's your "dream" public high school in the area?

Imagine home buying budget was no barrier... what, to your mind, is the most ideal public school pyramid in Nova?

NOT asking what you think is the best ranked/most prestigious. Asking for personal opinions about schools you'd like to send your children to (or currently do) and why.

Robinson. Nice low key neighborhood and school.

Marshall or Meridian. Love IB and good sports (in that order).

One that isn’t located in Montgomery County, MD.

+1 on Meridian.

Washington-Liberty, which is where my kids go.

Love the teachers, love that the student demographics most closely align with Arlington's, love IB.

Madison. AP. Lots of options for courses at all levels. Great community.

We are zoned for Wakefield (Arlington) and I gotta say I’m happy with that. We didn’t consider schools when buying and it’ll be years before my kid goes to school, but I have only heard good things and I don’t regret buying in this pyramid.

Kid #1 is at HBW though and I assume will stay there through high school.

We are also zoned for Wakefield and I hear nothing but positives too. I think my kid is a good candidate for IB though so we may try for that.

Meridian, FCCPS, which is where we live. Kids are in lower elementary now and we love it.

We are also zoned with Wakefield and I am happy with that. Otherwise I think my kid could do really well at Thomas Jefferson, but I am not sure I want that kind of stress for him.

Zoned for Wakefield HS and our kids are v happy and thriving there. But since you're asking about the whole pyramid, I'd find a way to skip Gunston if possible.
