[quote=Anonymous]OP: There is no easy answer. What is it that you value or think you might be interested in for kids in school?

All of the counties run things a bit differently. FCPS has schools that provide language immersion (Spanish, French, Japanese, Korean, and German) that you might be interested in. You can get into the schools from out of boundary through a lottery, some you cannot. If you might be interested in language immersion in the future, it might be worth it to buy a house that attends that school. Arlington has language immersion but I think it is a lottery only school and not a neighborhood school?

DC and Arlington have a bunch of option schools that use a lottery to assign seats. FCPS has an arts and STEM magnate school that is lottery based.

FCPS has a formal Advanced Academic Program that is meant for kids who are ahead and is a pull out program. Kids have a choice to attend a Center school with AAP classes, some schools have local programs with AAP classes, and some schools use the curriculum in every class. Arlington provides push in services for kids who are ahead. I have no idea what DC or Alexandria do.

MCPS has STEM magnate schools for MS and HS that are a weighted lottery.

Honestly, there are tons of data pieces that can be looked at. [/quote]
