[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If I were you, I would look into a school that feeds into Woodson High. We were in a somewhat similiar situation and ended up buying a home in the Fairfax side of Alexandria. We picked short commutes and house over school district. Our kids are young though and not yet in school. Our zoned elementary school, Franconia, is average at best and I have a bit of buyer's remorse. If I could do it over again, I would have concentrated on the Woodson pyramid. Our school is fine but not great. We feed into Edison High [b]but can test into TJ[/b]. We will most likely move in a few years and switch to either the Woodson, McLean or Langley pyramid.[/quote]

As the dealers in Vegas say, "Good Luck!"[/quote]

I said that we will most likely move in a few years. Since my oldest child is only 3 years old, we have a lot of time before we think about high school. This board is hypersensitive whenever TJ is mentioned.

I actually attended a magnet high school in another state. I thought the teaching was poor. We were taught to take tests. Yes, the school got amazing test scores. It was supposedly the best school in the state. I did move on to receive an ivy league education. I personally would not want that type of environment for my children.[/quote]
