[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Every terrible thing that can be found in PG County can be found in DC, whether it's bad local schools, no good stores and restaurants within walking distance, crime, and so on......[/quote]

And in Virginia.  South Fairfax County off of Route 1 would rival parts of PG and DC for the worst in crime and crappy schools.  [/quote]

Number of homicides in ffx county in 2017=18
Number of homicides in PG county in 2017=80

Same.[/quote]

The worst high school in Fairfax, Mount Vernon, is better than every single high school in PG except its magnet, Eleanor Roosevelt, and Roosevelt would be below average in Fairfax.

Yeah but am I crazy that this doesn't seem like a huge deal to me? Most of the kids overlap in achievement, right? I understand a really dysfunctional school is bad, but super high achieving schools have their own cultural problems ime. I assume the elementary school will be adequate and then we'll have to make decisions based on the kid we have and their preferences and talents. Plus, when the kids are young, I'll have more time to supplement their schools/be involved with them because I won't have to work as much to get by.  [/quote]

Are you a different poster? Because it would take a lot of chutzpah to make the erroneous claim that the schools in southern Fairfax are as “crappy” as those in PG and then, when corrected, turn around and suggest it doesn’t matter.

PG has some nice areas. It’s cheaper because there just aren’t many jobs there and people don’t want to live in suburbs with poor schools. It kind of defeats the point. There will always be a few areas that attract a diverse range of residents, but most of the better-educated, higher-income folks will bail on the public schools, if they send their kids there at all, by middle school.
