[quote=Anonymous]We moved away from this pyramid several years ago because of the schools. I pulled my kids out of Stratford Landing (both AAP) and put them in private. There was a new principal and the school went downhill. I tried Sandburg for a few weeks, but the hallways were too rough for my kid. DC actually liked the classes and teachers. West Po has SBG grading which is awful. The high school in our new "better" pyramid just implemented this as well, same thing, new principal and school is going downhill academically anyway. I wish we had just stayed in private but we are almost through with FCPS. I know so many people that planned to move to a better school pyramid once kids got through elementary, but it's really hard to do that when you and your kids have friends and love an area.

You are going to find people that think the schools in that area are fine and others that will try it and switch to private. What people think of as fine varies. Some people always think FCPS is fine. It is a wonderful area, and we miss it. I will add that with one kid in college, DC ended up at same place as West Po friends and some private school friends.

Parents in Waynewood seem happier with their school, and I like their neighborhood park better and their pool is used by everyone in the neighborhood. In SL, some kids go to Fort Hunt Elementary and some go to SL and then some join SL pool and others join the Riverside pool.[/quote]
