[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yup - confirms the earlier posters comment.

Basically you have 3 groups of HS is FCPS:

The top ( >1700)

Middle ( 1600-1700)

and Bottom (<1600)

Would be silly not to look moving into a district that feeds into the top HS's.

Would be "silly" to assume a higher mortgage or bad commute just because you also "assume" that a school is "bad" because it is more diverse and therefore has some groups that do worse than average.  Whereas, those same "bad"/undesireable schools also have large groups of students that do JUST AS WELL the "top" high schools where there aren't many groups that bring the average down.

Please look at the SAT scores or SOL scores for the group that your kids fit into and THEN decide whether that "bottom" school is really a bad school.  B/c you'll most likely find that kids at schools like South Lakes, West Springfield, even Herndon have large sections of their population that do quite well on the SATs -- comparable to schools like  Oakton and such.

"Silly" ==  :roll:[/quote]
