[quote=Anonymous]I'm the PP who posted the stats.  We actively sought out W-L too.  What's not to love?  Gorgeous facility, neighborhood school, student body that mirrors the nation's demographics (more or less), IB program, etc.  I think people get really weird about schools in this area.  In Bethesda/ChCh/Mclean/Arlington etc. we're all so fortunate to be able to send our kids to some of the highest caliber schools in the country and we're quibbling over minor percentages?  First world problems, people!

With that said--I'll also comment on Lyon Village.  We looked there for a long time...we were also in GP...and there were some things we liked: pretty neighborhood and playground, some nice housing stock, metro accessible.

There were also things we didn't like: cut-through traffic (we saw A LOT of it, although people in the 'hood deny it for some reason), there isn't really a neighborhood school as the kids all go to different schools based on boundry, interest in Key/Science Focus, etc., miniscule lots (we had a sizeable backyard in GP), and pathetic house options given the price tag (we had $1.5 to spend).  We also didn't love that so many people park in the 'hood on the weekends and then walk to the bars/restaurants etc.  That was an issue for us in GP (rowdy college kids leaving beer cans on our lawn, screaming at 2am, etc.).

For what it's worth, we be bought 1.5 miles away and got everything we wanted including an incredibly tight-knit community.  The one downside is we're .75 miles to the Metro, but it's still accessible and I'm actually skinnier now from walking to/fro ;)[/quote]
