[quote=Anonymous]If you have a million dollar budget for a house, I would look in the Reston, Chantilly area. You can find a nice house for that price and aim for Chantilly, Centerville, Oakton, or Western HS pyramids. OK, the Western HS pyramid has yet to be defined but it will be in June.

Oak Hill, Floris, Crossfield, Fox Mill, Navy,  are a few of the ES in that area that tend to be good ES. I am sure there are others but those are off the top of my head.

I would avoid Herndon. The schools are fine for a very involved parent but there is a higher number of kids needing additional support so kids on grade level or ahead have a smaller cohort. They do well but there are fewer similarly academically motivated kids to hang out with.

We love where we are in Reston, it is a nice community with lots of options. Not too high pressured for kids but parents care that kids are doing well in school without being only focused on top 20 schools. Good activities, walkable neighborhood, very traditional suburban area. [/quote]
