Best elementary schools in Fairfax county?

[Anonymous]

I'm also moving to the DC area. I have a rising 6th grader who is highly gifted and currently in a self contained classroom at a regular elementary school with kids his age but working two grades ahead which is a good fit for him. This seems to be similar to the title IV classes. Catch is we also have two other elementary students in dual language Spanish program that we would like them to continue. Help please with suggestions on where to live in this area that would meet their needs.

Surprised people have not mentioned the elementary schools that feed into Frost and Woodson yet. Here is what I know of:
Mantua
CanterburyWoods
Wakefield
Oldie Creek

Those are excellent elementary schools.

There are currently no AAP centers that are also partial immersion. You would want an AAP center for your first child and then you could look to see which schools nearby offer partial immersion. Lake Anne and Forest Edge might be a nice pair of schools to consider. Here's the link to the immersion schools and the AAP centers.

Also maybe Laurel Ridge (Spanish immersion) and Mantua Elementary School (Advanced Academic Programs [AAP]) are reasonably close.

If you're going to revive a dormant thread, at least spell check.

Thant being said, I grew up in Fairfax County and would be happy with almost any school out here. I know my kids will get a great education no matter which school they go to. My preference for those schools mainly have to do with the neighborhoods around them. They are some of my favorite in the area and also have some of the highest rated schools in the county.

I din’t call “great education” when a FC public school makes students miss math and LA classes for attending events stupid events.
