[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do the DC-area public schools have a large population of non-native English speaking students?  If so, it is across the board or in certain areas?  I have always heard that the public schools in this area are amazing, and am relying on that fact.[/quote]

The good schools in Fairfax County public schools are generally amazing and the so-so schools are pretty darn good.  There are pockets here and there that tend to have a lot of multi-family new immigrant households, which means their kids have the expected challenges as any kid would in that situation.  I think those areas tend to be the schools that people try to avoid.

The part of Springfield right around the mall is one of those areas.

But just go a few miles down Old Keene Mill Rd into West Springfield and Burke and it is a whole different ballgame, just one spectacular school after another.

As a few posters noted earlier, even though there are immigrant families in the West Springfield schools, those parents tend to be educated professionals, so even if there are some language barriers the schools aren't impacted negatively like they are on the other side of town.[/quote]
