[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here - we're looking for a bigger house.  I just used the size of our house as an example for how much more the houses cost in areas close-in with better school pyramids.  And, for the record, we consider this part of Alexandria to be "close" to DC.[/quote]

So if I understand correctly, you view where you are now as close-in, but are wondering whether you should move some place else, also close in but more expensive, for better schools.

I don't subscribe to the "any school in FCPS will automatically be fine" viewpoint, but I do think there are plenty of opportunities within your current pyramid.  The West Potomac pyramid may not be unique, but it's somewhat unusual in FCPS in terms of its socio-economic diversity across the entire spectrum (it's probably more like W-L in Arlington than any other school in FCPS).   These are schools where you can be assured that a child can find a cohort of good kids who pay attention to academics and are invested in their futures. [/quote]

OP here - yes, precisely.  We're wondering if we should move somewhere else close-in for better schools.  We'll be looking for a bigger house, so it'll be a lot more than what we pay now for our mortgage![/quote]
