[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Old Town Alexandria - the Lyles-Crouch school (NOT the Jefferson-Houston school).  Warning: expensive real estate catchment.  Also in Alexandria City and a 9-minute drive of the PTO: Charles Barrett, Mason, MacArthur schools.  Also, unfortunately, not cheap.

OP asked for a school pyramid where students are eligible for TJ.  That excludes City of Alexandria schools, since ACPS does not allow it's students to attend TJ. [/quote]

She also asked for a "really strong" school district, which ACPS is not by anyone's definition, a perception reinforced this week by the newest SOL results.[/quote]

OP, an ACPS parent here.  We really like our ACPS elementary and are sticking with ACPS.  You'll find that to be true of most ACPS parents; boards like this invite the projection of dissenting opinions, as you've seen.  You should call the principals of the schools that interest you (the list above is good, but I'd add the Maury school, and I agree that you'll want to avoid the Jeff-Houston school until significant work on the building and the school environment are done) and arrange a quick meeting/tour.  All the ACPS elementaries welcome that.
