[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You just posted yesterday.  Give it time.  (Also, don't expect anyone to have experience with both - it's unlikely unless they're zoned for Kenmore and sent a kid to immersion MS.)

Our elementary (ATS) sends a bunch of kids to each one, and the families I know seem pretty happy with both.  The only thing I heard that gave me pause was that Kenmore has two PTAs - one geared toward Hispanic families.  So that tells me that the community might not be as unified as some others.  I can tell you that Carlin Springs can be a freakin' nightmare during rush hour, and Glebe can get pretty congested too, so that might be a toss-up.[/quote]

Thank you, I appreciate it. I guess I am looking for general feedback about the communities and actual experience that goes beyond the GreatSchools rating. We are looking at a house that feeds into Kenmore and one that feeds into Gunston. My primary hesitation about Kenmore was the high # of FARM and how that would impact overall experience and behavioral issues in the classroom. [/quote]

I only have experience with Kenmore.  You should visit the school -  the principal is very welcoming.  It is our neighborhood school and tons of kids walk there every day - it has been a good experience so far.  I mean, it is middle school.  But one of my kids just declared his history teacher one of the best ever so there is one opinion for you.[/quote]
