[quote=Anonymous]Where are you moving from/too?
How old are your kids? 
LB was over crowded and didn't have walls when I was there in the late 80s/early 90s.  Now it is brand new-ish and undercrowded as FCPS go!  My SIL is a West Springfield grad and when I was complaining about the repairs WSHS needs, she commented it was just updated - yeah 20 years ago!  On of my current best friends was nothing but trouble at Robinson and is now SES. My cousins all went to different FCPS high schools even though they lived in the same house of Braddock (and had a normal age spread). You can only plan so far in advance....

Also, the high school programs we were looking at when we bought 16 years ago (BC) have shifted from what we are looking at now with my current middle schooler!

Language immersion - german and spanish in springfield - is only at certain schools, it's lottery based. Math and Science are taught in the target language. Immersion kids end up ahead of AAP kids starting at middle school since they can take both high school math and language. AAP kids can only take high school math. My DC will have 4 high school classes as a freshmen - Alegebra, Geromentry, Language I &II.  Math placement is by testing for 7th grade, so it's not limited by AAP or not AAP.  Immersion parents usually turn down AAP magent schools to keep immersion and do the in-school AAP program. (hwoever, it depends on the kid)

Both LB and WS are good schools (I'd add in Robinson - which I think a few of the schools you listed go to)[/quote]
