[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We are zoned for a nearby IB school, and I don't think I'd have much problem sending my kid to FCHS for AP. So, that is one thing that it has in its favor - AP Classes. I'll have to think about it - I have some time. I don't think that FCHS is trending upward in many ways. Maybe if the[b] FCPS renovation queue for schools wasn't so jacked up[/b], FCHS would be better, but perhaps not.

Falls Church is just highly Hispanic and lower SES, or "diverse", as FCPS likes to call it. There was a time when the neighborhoods around it were more economically and racially balanced, but those days are long gone. It is smaller school, and for the "lesser" pyramids in FCPS, that probably works in its favor.

All the Mosaic Center did was increase traffic greatly. The traffic on Gallows, 50, etc. around Falls Church High School is unreal as compared to years' past.

That haas been an issue for decades.  It is ridiculous.  When my son was born, our MS was listed as the worst MS facility in the county (out of 25 or so).  The year he started MS was the year they started the renovation/addition- 11 years later- he never experienced the renovated space.[/quote]
