[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I've heard decent reviews on the school from parents with kids there now. It has improved in recent years and has fairly strong support from the middle income neighborhoods that feed into it.

Falls Church HS has not had the administrative and academic problems that have plagued nearby JEB Stuart HS in recent years. Stuart has a new principal now, so hopefully things improve there.

With the new development at The Mosaic, and the fact that Falls Church HS will have a brand new facility in about 7 years, the school and the socio-economic mix can only get better.

As others have said, keep in mind that Falls Church HS is not in the City of Falls Church; it is in the Falls Church portion of Fairfax County. George Mason HS is the City of Falls Church's only HS. [/quote]

Just to be clear, there are no plans to build a new school to replace Falls Church HS.  The goal is to do a major renovation within the next seven years or so.

[b]There are some decent areas that feed into FCHS, including Camelot, Greenway Downs, City Park Homes, Columbia Pines and Holmes Run.  Homes in those areas often get snapped up very quickly.[/b]  There's a big world out there that doesn't hang on what a handful of DCUM posters have to say about NoVa schools.

Over the long term, I think Falls Church HS will be much stronger than Annandale HS which lost most all of its stable middle and upper income neighborhoods to Robinson and Woodson. It's a shame what FCPS has done to Annandale.

Holmes Run is beautiful.[/quote]

Annandale hasn't lost neighborhoods to Robinson, but to Falls Church, Woodson and Lake Braddock.[/quote]
