Useless Greatschool rankings,,, Herndon High School - 1696 has better average SAT scores than Robinson Secondary - 1683, Lake Braddock Secondary - 1693 but, why is Herndon High School - 5 but Robinson Secondary is 9 and Lake Braddock Secondary 8 ??? South Lakes High School is 5 according to Greatschool ? |

All well above the national average. Any typical upper middle class fcps family will likely be perfectly successful at any of these school pyramids. I would not mark any of these high achieving high schoops off your list and instead focus on home, community, school culture (middle and high school), elementary size and focus, and quality of life issues. Academically, any of these high schools are exceptional and you don't need to limit yourself to four schools to achieve a high quality education for your kids. |

Granted, the PP was being jerky, but your reaction is even more over-the-top. Signed, Someone who recognizes the poster who owns rentals in the Marshall pyramid, but doesn't "live" there. |

Wow, how rude and uncalled for. No need to be so nasty and what's with the name calling? Since oakton was mentioned, and I live in oakton, I will say that the schools here are wonderful. The families are very involved and very nice. We are very happy here. Good luck op. |

| I think it's under the radar, but Stenwood is a fantastic little neighborhood school. |

It was mentioned previously in the thread. Not that you can't mention it again, but it was already on the radar. |

| To what HS does Stenwood feed? |
