[quote=Anonymous]I actually think Falls Church HS is going to see better demographics within the next few years, since there's a fair amount of higher-dollar development zoned there.  Plus the people I know whose kids actually went to Jackson and FCHS did have good things to say.

I wouldn't judge by the age of the school building itself - Langley looks pretty old too, unless it's been redone in the last few years since I drove by.

We actually moved out of the Fairhill/Jackson/FCHS pyramid before my daughter hit kindergarten.  The eventual school decision was somewhat of a factor, and I did consider homes feeding into Woodson.  The bigger factor for me was trying to get a shorter commute into DC, and I cut my commute in half by moving to Arlington.  (I also wanted more aftercare availability than Fairfax tends to have.)

I think you're already pretty close to your dad, so I'm not sure that should be much of a factor here.  It does sound like you would like a more inclusive, community feel and that might be worth moving.  How much more would you have to pay to buy where you want?[/quote]
