[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Many neighborhoods in eastern Fairfax are great places to live and raise a family - Fort Hunt, Stratford Landing, Hayfield, Kingstowne, Saratoga. Great locations, good housing stock, etc. Why are some of the schools in those areas performing poorly? Good neighborhood schools are suddenly not so good. What's going on FCPS? [/quote]

I agree.  I live in one of those neighborhoods and I think it is a great place to live and raise a family.  But, some of those school ratings have gotten pretty low, even at the ES level.  In my neighborhood, I know families that are still using the public ES but others are starting to opt for private.  I know one family where their son actually really liked the ES and seemed to be doing well, but they just got so concerned that test scores were going in the wrong direction, they were concerned and felt forced to go private.  Hopefully, FCPS can do something to turn things around in these schools.  I think the neighborhoods themselves will remain desirable places to live, but they may become places where people start to say, it's a great neighborhood, but you have to do private school.[/quote]
