[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Some of the areas mentioned can be pricey. For bang for your buck try Mantua area in fairfax. Near dunn lorIng metro/orange line and up gallows to tysons. Close to 495, rt 50, and 66. Pyramid is Mantua ES (Which is a success by 8 school with AAP), Frost MS, and Woodson HS.[/quote] We live in Mantua and it's been a great fit for us. We have one kid in AAP and one in the regular program and I feel the school does a terrific job of addressing the needs of both kids. If both children had been STEM stars I would have opted for Haycock as I understand the STEM emphasis in their AAP program is terrific, but I think the AAP program there also dwarfs the regular program in size and has a bit of a reputation as a pressure cooker, so it might not have been as good a fit for my non AAP kid. It also helped that we were able to find a really nice house for about 300k less than it would have cost in McLean :-)[/quote]
