[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For similar location proximity to DC as a McLean pyramid but more liberal, I’d look at falls church city. They have their own local school district (not FCPS) and everyone I know who lives there love the community and schools. [/quote]

Falls Church City owes its very existence to people who didn’t want Black people to have a vote in local elections many years ago and, years later, the residents go to great lengths to make sure you know their schools are “Falls Church City schools” rather than the more diverse schools in Fairfax County like Marshall, Falls Church, and Justice with Falls Church mailing addresses.  If that’s what you consider “progressive,” go for it. [/quote] Fairfax County has its share of racist history.  I would not pick a school system based on decisions made generations ago.  [/quote]

The second part of the post refers to current behavior by FCC residents.  It goes beyond just letting people know FCC is its own jurisdiction. [/quote]Maybe, they make that distinction because Fairfax County has a high school called Falls Church and the city of Falls Church has a high school called Meridian.  For many new people, it can be confusing.  [/quote]

Falls Church HS is in Fairfax and not City of Falls Church because of segregation.[/quote] Yes, more than 60 years ago.  [/quote]
