[quote=Anonymous]I'm the PP who recommended the West Springfield pyramid.  Our situation was that we were going to have to move anyway so we looked for the best schools in an area where we could afford to rent.  We did online research, drove around neighborhoods, and then made two maps - one with all the places where we could expect to find a nice home and one with all the schools that we liked.  Then we overlaid them.  That narrowed the search.  We were going to need SACC (School Age Child Care) and the sign-up is a year in advance.  Fairfax County only lets you sign up for two schools (if you don't sign up the day that the sign-up opens (and I mean, within minutes of the phone lines opening - good luck getting in).  That limited our choices further.  We narrowed it down to two elementary schools and then, when we searched for a place to live, we knew that we only needed to look in those two small elementary school districts, since we only had child care there.  It helped focus the search.

Anyway, that was our process.  Your situation might be different but we really like our area and the schools, so it worked out for us.[/quote]
