You can walk across magarity road and be in mclean you idiot. Your not so well hidden innuendos by using terms like trailor homes, reading comprehension, socioeconomic and " demographic " proves your awful racial profiling and judgmental attitude. It must have hurt to be placed behind a school that has less whites (by not much, look it up). By the way I make over 500k a year, hold multiple technical master degrees, run my own small business and chose to live outside of mclean because of disgusting, vile, racist and judgmental people like you. |
I call bullshit. No way do you make over 500k a year, especially when you don't even know how to spell "trailer". LOL at "trailor". http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=trailor Nor do you know how to spell "McLean". LOL at "mclean". In fact, you don't even know how to work this message board properly, hence the double copying of a previous post. Also, if you are going to accuse me of "racism" and "innuendos" toward non-whites, at least get your "racial profiling" straight. "Trailer homes" and "trailer trash" are terms that are usually associated with poor whites, not with other races. Based on your accusations of "racism", your multiple spelling mistakes, your refusal to see the facts regarding Marshall versus the McLean schools even though you have been "schooled" in them multiple times by multiple posters on this board (such as the fact that Marshall's SAT scores were actually below the FCPS average in some recent years), and other elements of your writing style, I can tell that you are that Crazy Marshall Lady again. It's really sad, because Pimmit Hills actually has real potential in the future, but the ironic thing is that vocal morons like you are doing more to harm it than anyone from "mclean" is. Anyone who sees your nasty, insulting, low class, trashy, uneducated, jealous, chip-on-your-shoulder posts will never want to move to Pimmit Hills if they think that they might have neighbors like you. Nor will they want their children to go to school with the offspring of someone as obviously stupid, uneducated, and mentally unbalanced as yourself. Call that "racism" if you want, but the reality is that no one of any race wants to live around or have their children go to school with stupid people, whatever their race. |
I am technical not an english major, use my phone to write and don't have spell check, bitch. |
Thanks for proving my point with yet another nasty, low class comment. To anyone else reading this, this could be your neighbor if you follow her advice and move to Pimmit Hills. |

OP - NP here. As you can tell, there are locals who are *extremely* sensitive about who went to what school. If you're not from here, it really doesn't matter much. Pimmit Hills is seen as kind of rough, FWIW. Apparently Potomac Hills (very different, at least to locals) used to be Langley HS way back when, but was changed to McLean HS. I am very sure that was a point of contention. Honestly, I don't know how redistricting happens, but it seems to happen in Fairfax often enough. (Happened in Oakton not that long ago).
Anyway, Potomac Hills is nice and safe with sidewalks, a mixed neighborhood of many demographics. One of our old neighbors moved there FROM Pimmit Hills and was noticeably impressed (we don't live in Potomac Hills anymore). Another point - Potomac Hills has ALL sizes of house - from 3 to 6 (!) BR, so price points vary. It is NOT cheap and probably starts at around $800 these days. If you like the house and lot, why not? What did you decide? |
If you're so troubled by "Crazy Marshall Lady," why do you engage her? Do you have some need to prove your "McLean" superiority? She rambles and nobody really listens anyway, so why do you care? It's clear she's trying to pump up the Pimmit Hills property values. Big deal. It's very transparent and no different than what other posters do here all of the time. |
| Pimmit Hills is Falls Church. Either you want Falls Church or you don't. End story. |

US News profile of Marshall, with incorrect assumption that 99% of Marshall students take IB classes:

You only need to take take 1 IB class at any time not every year |
Do all students have to take at least one IB class? Are there AP classes or honors classes? |

| We have good friends who live on that street not far from that house. They have been very happy there in the 9ish years that they've lived there. I know that there are at least a few elementary school age kids on the street. |
| Also, to reply to the poster who wondered about how Langley/McLean got redistricted - I was in elementary school (slated to go to Langley) at the time - basically they turned 123 into the dividing line, regardless of proximity to school. So many homes, mine included, that had been slated for Langley and were, in fact, closer to Langley than McLean, got moved into the McLean district. I can't remember when exactly it was, but I'm 39 so it must've been 30ish years ago. |
I'm not "troubled" at all, but thanks for your concern. If you're so troubled by our exchanges, then why are you "engaging" me? It's a message board. People talk. Besides, there are lots of other people who have responded to her lies and bullshit both in this thread and many other threads on here. And by the way, I don't even live in McLean, so I'm not trying to prove any "McLean superiority" or anything else. I just respond to lies and bullshit when I see it. To your last point, yes, many people on here promote their neighborhoods and schools, but there is a big difference between that and resorting to outright lies and putting down other people's neighborhoods and schools. |
