[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m from central Virginia, and the schools I went to have poor Great Schools ratings. They were also very segregated. We constantly heard that the schools in Northern Virginia were the best in the state. Our teachers told us that we would be competing with the kids up here when it came to getting into college, etc. Now I live up here and I’m looking at schools and reading about them on DC urban mom and it’s not quite as advertised! Where are the super high quality schools? Only in north Arlington, city of Falls Church, and select parts of Fairfax? I have to believe that the rest of the schools up here are fine, especially compared to the ones I grew up in, but when people rave about Northern Virginia schools, are they just talking about those three places?!

It depends, define "super high quality" schools, what specific criteria are you referring to?

Many schools in FCPS are considered pretty good as compared to other areas of the country. Many on these threads might be a bit too passionate about education, (hence the complaining about schools "not doing enough", and they would be right to some degree), but overall, yes, the schools in the area are pretty good.[/quote]
