[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]To answer your questions - no I didn't visit the elementary school before I bought a house, but I knew it was a new facility (5yo building) so I figured it would be nice, and I didn't know enough to think about different principals affecting teachers/school philosophy differently.  That said, I don't know if you'd pick that up on a tour either - better to try to find someone who knows someone in the neighborhood and ask what people think of the schools.  I can only speak for Arlington, but you can do tours outside of scheduled orientation, it just may take some planning.  I went to the [b]big county Kindergarten Information night where all the elementary schools in the county had posters and a principal and K teacher from each school was available to answer questions[/b].  I tried to come up with a few questions that might show how they'd deal with a difficult situation.  Based on their answers, two schools really stood out to me.  Luckily for me, we ound a house that happened to be zoned for one of those schools.  I didn't specifically look for the school, but was pleased to find that's where the house was.[/quote]

Does anyone know whether fairfax county has a similar event.[/quote]
