[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you want the smaller high school with lots of Foreign Service kids, I would choose Falls Church City schools as one of the previous posters mentioned.  We are also Foreign Service but choose the McLean High School pyramid.  We needed the AAP program for the younger years (which we've gotten to an extent but [b]I'm not sure it's really that advanced [/b]compared to what we were doing overseas, but that's another topic).  Love the neighborhood feel and although we haven't started at McLean High School yet, I've heard great things about it (although class size is probably larger that Falls Church City schools).

We're FS as well and we're running into the same problem. The FCPS curriculum is good, but not as advanced as the one we had overseas. But you have to remember,  overseas expat schools are often of a selected population, cherry picked through entrance tests. Keep in mind our curriculum has to be adjusted to meet everyone low/high in the ability spectrum. It has to account for those who doesn't have early access to advantageous learning resources. I am not worried about the US place in the world. When you look out there in the world and look under the rug a bit, one often find nothing is ever what it seems. [/quote]
