[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op again - I've also been very overwhelmed with all of the "One Fairfax" stuff on the VA Public Schools forum so I didn't even bother to post there. Since my kids are still 9/10 years out from HS would I be silly passing up Reston solely to pick Langley over South Lakes?[/quote]

I am in the Fox Mill ES boundary. The kids in my neighborhood seem to be enjoying South Lakes High School. I know that the change to South Lakes was not an easy one but it seems to have smoothed out. The ones I talk to think that the academics are challenging and are doing well. The reality is that your kids are likely to be taking honors or IB classes and in with a group of kids that are academically strong. South Lakes has been steadily improving. And while not Reston, we can walk to the grocery store and a bunch of smaller restaurants. There are parks near by for the kids to play at and a strong sense of community. The metro will be opening in September, maybe, so we will have a metro stop about 1 1/2 miles away. We are close enough to Reston to enjoy the trails and belong to a local pool.

Schools are important but an invested parent is likely to make sure that their child is in a place to succeed. Your children would be fine at South Lakes and you can save more money for college and retirement buying a less expensive house. [/quote]

Just make sure your kids pack their switchblade when attending SLHC. [/quote]

For real or just an urban legend?

I have talked with many of the parents on our street and no one has said word one about problems at South Lakes. I have friends who teach at South Lakes and they have no concerns with sending their kids to South Lakes. The kids I know who have graduated from there, neighbors kids, babysitters, and the like have been happy with their four years at the school.  [/quote]
