[quote=Anonymous]My 9th grade DD is a transfer from CHS to Robinson.  DH and I both work full time, but he is able to drive her every day to school (it's before his start time) and pick her up every day (although she has to wait about 2 hours after school every day for him to get there.  She doesn't love it, but she usually just finds a place to do homework.  We thought she'd have more involvement in after school activities, but so far, that has not happened.  Possibly soon though.  In the meantime, I'm going to check out the county bus thing that someone here posted - thanks!

In any event, we considered South Lakes as we are literally equal distance from both.  We went to their IB night and a student there told me that there are some kids who get a bus after school to the local Teen Center in Reston.  I think this is a well-kept hidden gem that Fairfax doesn't advertise.  These teen centers are FREE and, as I recall, so was the bus to get the kids there.  They are open until 9 or 10 pm!  They are even open on Saturdays! Kids can play sports, do homework, and I think they had stuff like foosball, air hockey, etc.  You don't have to go every day and there's no wait list (at least there wasn't at the Reston location when I asked about it last year).  Here's where you can find more info:
