[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As someone who is poor and whose kid qualifies for free lunch, this offends me. She is on the honor roll, volunteers, is on a sports team, has good friends, and will be going to college. I understand people use statistics, especially for a purchase as large as a house, but I really hope people are not assuming all kids getting free or reduced lunches are slutty gangbangers who will corrupt their special snowflakes.

Well, you can be offended all you want and I'm sure your DD is lovely... its not a discussion that is being held on an individual basis.
Lower performing schools have higher rates of FARMS. That is what OP wants to discuss not the individual achievement of one kid that gets free lunch.

That being said, OP, I am familiar with the area, look at the Potomac Falls district. You may also get more info from the VA public school threads.[/quote]

OP here. This is what I keep hearing. It's really hard finding a nice house in the Potomac Falls district. The houses are 20 years old and many have had little to no renovation in that time, and we are not handy. I can understand why people buy in Rivercrest or Lowes Island. You walk inside and you are "wowed." BUT I think it's extremely unlikely we'll move again before high school, so it's a huge factor in our decision. [/quote]
Schools are also a big resale factor.
I would probably err on the side of caution and go with the better schools.[/quote]
