West Springfield has some issues...at least it did 15 years ago, when I was buying, west springfield had the mixing bowl construction and issues around springfield mall. We ended up in Vienna. (that worked out well, as my (same) job moved from Arlington to Tysons, back to arlington, and now to reston.
Welll.... that's helpful.... 15 years ago there were "some issues"?????? Seriously.
West Springfield is a great school. There are great elementary schools in the Alexandria section of Ffx County as well.
Where in Alexandria do you work? Where does DH work? What is your price range?
I just hate the "where's the BEST school?" question followed by all the usual DCUMers shouting McLean, Vienna, Tysons!!!! The question assumes that the rest of the schools are sub-standard and therefore the 90% of us not sending our children to the over-proclaimed schools are just hopeless idiots who accept sloppy seconds. There are plenty of parents/kids interested in getting a great education ALL OVER No. Va. school districts. We all want a good deal for our kids, but we make choices based on the needs/means/desires of the entire family. People who don't send their kids Archer and Haycock and Langley and McLean and Oakton are not clueless about the options. They realize that there are many schools that qualify as "good schools."
