[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How long till FCPS re-zones areas of this "hidden gem" to allow multifamily housing, thereby turning it into a hidden "piece of coal"?  [/quote]

WHAT? Mulitfamily housing from route 1 is already zoned and bussed to Carl Sandburg and West Potomac. Why do you think the FARMS rate at both schools have hovered around 42% and the schools demographics are 62% minority and 38% white. They are bussing kids into these schools. Waynewood Elementary is the only school with no bussing (hence the local nickname “Whitewood”) and is considered “the best” school in Fort Hunt. [/quote]

it's the only school in fort hunt with a decent rating. The other schools are still good for kids who live in ft hunt, but they are failing the kids being bussed in. Of course schools like Mt. Vernon Woods and Hybla Valley are failing kids in similar demographics even worse. [/quote]

Ok but do you think schools in other parts of fairfax are actually better? Or do they serve a majority wealthy population so they look better on ratings websites like Great Schools? And so if you buy a house in McLean because you care about “good schools,” are you actually buying a better school for your kids? Or just some space for that pleasant  illusion? [/quote]

you're buying a cohort for your kid that doesn't have any of the problems that accompany poverty. [/quote]
