[quote=Anonymous]- It's growing very quickly - there are 8 or 9 (I can't remember) Kindergarten classes alone so even though there are split elementary schools, it's still very, very crowded (although class size isn't bad since they've added more classes per grade, but at some point they won't be able to do that). 
- It's not diverse and the few low-income/minority students that are there, are definitely made to feel different. We know two families that moved into Fairfax County because their kids were very unhappy. Likewise, it's a wealthy area, and the kids know it and sometimes act like it.
- Some of the older kids we know complain that they've been in school with the SAME kids for 12 grades and it is VERY cliquish in high school (and the same goes for sports, extracurriculars, etc.). 
- FCC is a small town and has the same small town quirks you'd expect - everybody knows everyone else's business.  And as a middle and high-schooler, that is really tough.  We've found that even the parents gossip about kids, even in elementary school!
- Nothing negative to say about the academics at all, the schools are great!
