[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Moving to try to impact college acceptances is up there on the dumbest ideas I've heard.[/quote]

I agree that moving with hopes of impacting college decisions is not a great idea, but moving to impact how well the high school will prepare you for college might not be such a bad one. Here are links to the FCPS school profile test results pages  for Westfield, Chantilly and Langley.

Test scores are probably higher at Langley mostly because the students are stronger, but some of it may have to do with instruction, too. Either way, it's going to be more of an academics-focused experience there.

Look, too, at the 'safe and secure' page, which will give you some idea of the kinds of issues each school faces and how frequent those problems are.

It's interesting to note, too, that Chantilly's student:counselor ratio is under 200:1, while Langley's is about 290. There's probably a reason for that. Westfield is closer to Langley at around 260.[/quote]
