[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kids did k-8 private and are at Herndon now. Yes, the school within a school is a thing. Graduates we know have gone onto UVA, William and Mary, Northwestern, JMU, Penn St, Florida, VT, WVU, Georgia, Miami,  Tenn. I have not heard complaints about fights or other discipline issues. [b]The school does seem to lack in spirit - low attendance to sporting events-  compared to PVI.[/b] My kids have had some outstanding teachers, even during distance learning.

Standardized test scores are lower due to higher percentage of English learners. That does not mean the teachers are weak or  that the more academic students are at a disadvantage. FCPS AP classes follow the same curriculum. There might be fewer sections of AP BC Calculus at Herndon, but they all fcps students are receiving the same instruction. If the rumors are true that colleges have to cap the number of students they can admit from one same school, then being a Herndon student might even give them an edge. [/quote]

That’s because only the wealthy white kids come to events. [/quote]

Parochial school — you can’t compare student spirit / participation with a public school. - parochial school alum of public school kids [/quote]
