[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]09:43:  WASPy Vienna neighborhoods?  Must be a different part of Vienna than I live in[/quote]

I was just thinking the same thing. My kids class picture looks like a meeting of the UN and  I love it. We're a bi-racial family and the last thing I want is my kid to be in a classroom full of WASPs. I like the diversity that seems to live around the Marshall tier. I think being exposed to all types of social and economic differences can be a good thing.  We live in a large upscale TH by choice, so I don't know why people put THs down. We are not "backyard bbq" kind of people, so we don't feel the need to really have a SF. (We sold ours) We lived in a condo in the city and loved it, but needed room for the kids, I think a TH is a good compromise.

To stay on topic though, is Woodson its self really that great of a HS? I've driven past it and Frost and they seem a bit run down, as did the neighborhoods around them. I'm just wondering why all the hype- is it true or do some moms just want it to sound so good b/c they are insecure around people from wealthier areas?[/quote]

It's a good school in most of the ways that count in NoVa.  Woodson was just renovated, so it's not at all run down.  And, yes, some Woodson parents are insecure, as evidenced by their putting Annandale HS down so vocally.[/quote]
