Fairfax County under 600k

[Anonymous]

I went through 13 years of FCPS and this thread is hilarious.

I love Hayfield Farms. Great community feel, pool that you can lease a membership at until you are off waitlist, lot of organized activities in the neighborhood, kids can walk to elementary through high schools. There is nothing on the market right now but homes sell around $600,000.

This is BS. Some of the worst school pyramids in the DC area (aside from PGCPS) are in Fairfax County. OP, pyramids you will want to avoid are Falls Church, Edison, Westfield, Herndon, South Lakes, Mount Vernon, Lee, West Potomac, Justice, Hayfield. Those schools are almost entirely reliant on school lunch rations, and are heavy minority, mostly from Latin America. I honestly wouldn’t recommend any high school in FCPS, Langley is the bottom line but it is rapidly declining and will get zoned with some kids from Tyson’s, which will ruin its composition.

It’s hard to write something this long that is this factually inaccurate, but you may have pulled it off.

The lowest performing pyramids in FCPS have counterparts in both Arlington and Montgomery.

Of the 10 pyramids mentioned, none is almost entirely “reliant on school lunch rations.” Five are probably majority Hispanic (Falls Church, Herndon, Mount Vernon, Lewis, and Justice), but each also has significant numbers of middle and upper middle class kids and offers a full menu of AP or IB courses.

There is no plan to move any of Tysons to Langley, although doing so would hardly “ruin its composition.” Do you have any idea how expensive Tyson’s is?

In short, you are either ignorant or intentionally misrepresenting facts, and this forum will just become increasingly worthless unless Jeff starts banning posters like you for posting nonsense.

If you look at school board meetings, they are in fact proposing expanding Langleys boundaries to include parts of southern Mclean/Tyson’s. If you look up the zip codes for said areas of Tyson’s, yes they are still expensive, but not nearly as high as Great Falls/Mclean. Said zip codes are majority hispanic, which is a FACT, and is far higher than the percentage of hispanics at Langley, which is close to 0. I am not saying that in a subjective manner, but rather using objective statistics. Take a look at what happened at Mclean HS, they were rezoned to include parts of Falls Church/ Tyson’s which significantly altered the ethnic makeup. Again, which is not a good or bad thing, but rather just objective facts for OP

You continue to mangle the facts and post incorrect information.

There is no pending proposal to change Langley’s boundaries.

Tysons does not have a separate zip code. Part is 22182 (Vienna); the rest is 22102 (McLean). Both of these zip codes are quite expensive and not even close to being majority low-income or majority Hispanic.

The area in Falls Church that you’re talking about at McLean HS got moved there in the mid-80s. It hasn’t stopped McLean from being the second or third highest-ranked school in Virginia for many years since then.

The Hispanic population in NoVa is not uniformly poor, as you seem to think. Langley was 7% Hispanic last year, not “close to 0%.”

It’s quite sad that a corrupt deteriorating school like Mclean is supposedly ranked number 3 in Virginia. Those rankings are full of it anyways, fairfax probably pays Niche and them to put their schools on the top. I mean Marshall top 5? Really? I’m in the Langley pyramid and i would never send my kids to Langley, let alone Marshall.

No one who lives in the Langley district would be as misinformed about the surrounding area as you’ve already demonstrated you are.

Get lost, troll.

No one is misinformed, just the fact. We live in Great Falls for rural, open feel while also having the amenity of being able to commute to the city in 30 minutes. We never even considered the public school pyramid that was default, because as many have said, regardless of what public school you go to, whether it be langley or edison, the curriculum and available resources are the same. Our entire neighborhood thinks that way, almost 40% of our block goes to private.

We (also?) live in Great Falls and cannot think of anyone who calls their street "our block." There literally are no "blocks" in Great Falls . . . except perhaps for just south of the Village (and almost everyone we know there sends their kids to GFES-Cooper-Langley).

Yet another indication that PP is a troll who doesn't really live in Great Falls or in the Langley pyramid.

They claim the "curriculum and available resources are the same" at Langley and Edison, but that's patently false. Langley is AP, Edison is IB, Langley offers languages that Edison doesn't offer, and Edison has an Academy program that Langley doesn't have.

PP so called troll here. Our DC went to Colvin Run in Vienna because we live much closer to Mclean within Great Falls, and thus the houses are much closer w together which explains why I refer to it as a ‘block’. Must be a coincidence of some sort then, whatever schooling works best for your child is what you should pursue. To each their own. Got my popcorn ready for the billion incoming replies referring to me as a ‘High schooler from Maryland’

AP and IB are marginally similar; I was referring to the academic curriculum of the core classes. But if you want to haggle over which school has Japanese of German, be my guest.

Two points:

You wrote that you moved to GF for the "rural, open feel" . . . but you live in a part of GF where "houses are much closer together"? Regardless, the Arden development aside, the part of GF that you are presumably referring to also doesn't have blocks.

Also, you "never even considered the public school pyramid," but your "DC went to Colvin Run"?

I have the same issue. My husband wants to be within 15 min of Tyson's corner. Our budget is similar.

The available properties in good school districts are so flawed as to be unsellable in the future. The anticipated price decrease has not materialized as we are in a deflationary spiral due to low inventory.

No one owes me a place to live. I just don't like my choices.

To people with so much money they will tear it down and build a new, bigger house for $3 million. Or to builders who will do the same.

Good work. PP just keeps changing their story so they can try to seem relevant to the conversation, when they aren’t (and no one living in the Colvin Run ES district has any experience with under $600K houses or the schools they feed into in any case).

[Anonymous]

Can the 2 of you just start your own thread with your relentless and annoying argument?

[Anonymous]

If OP ever comes back, I would recommend the Lake Braddock community in Burke at that price point. The lake is awesome, you are walking distance to the school (ms and hs at least), not far from library, stores, other stuff. This is 3 br vs 4 but def under $600k. https://redf.in/MMIwRn
