[quote=Anonymous]Most of the neighborhoods that feed into Annandale HS are quite nice.  The poverty in Annandale is concentrated in the two areas - the Landmark/Lincolnia area and the garden apartment complexes off Heritage and west of Ravensworth Road.   These areas aren't as distressed as Culmore in Falls Church or the Route 1 corredor in Alexandria, but they are up there.  Go further west to the Woodson HS district, and you're in an area where it's almost entirely SFHs.  Obviously, people are going to compare the two schools and say Annandale suffers by comparison.  If you're prepared to look past that, you'd find that there are a lot of "people like you" who do send their kids to Annandale and are happy with the school.  When FCPS decided to redistrict part of the Wakefield Forest area to Woodson a year or two ago to relieve overcrowding at Annandale, the community was split, but there were dozens of Wakefield Forest parents who did not want their kids moved to Woodson.
