[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]New poster here.  We looked in Pimmit Hills back in 2013 but did not like the appearance of the neighborhood.  We bought in the Pine Spring-Jackson-Falls Church pyramid instead and, so far, have been very happy with the schools.  I agree with PP that there are a lot of snobs in the Marshall district now.  We know our schools aren't rated the highest in the area, and that's fine with us.  We like that our kids are exposed to greater diversity and that the parents aren't "McLean wanna-be's," which is the impression we got about Pimmit Hills.  So please enjoy your McMansions and continue to say negative things about our area.  We like it better this way. [/quote]

To be fair, Pimmit Hills is within the McLean Citizens Association area and has had to really work to have a presence there. So in a way they aren't McLean wannabees since they are already part of the organization. I have yet to meet a Pimmit Hills snob. Agree there is a crazy PH poster online but she or he are probably just a long time resident wanting to sell soon. The neighborhood is mainly middle income families and individual people just trying to make a living in Fairfax County. I think they are happy all their hard work on improving the area is paying off. That's all. I do think there is a bit less diversity in Pimmit than 22042, but there's more than in Vienna or McLean. We live somewhere else now, but I thought Pimmit was the most convenient and friendly place I've lived in. I hope it does well.[/quote]
To build on that, PH kids are eligible to participate in McLean Youth sports leagues, and Marshall students can opt to attend McLean High.

With regard to diversity, I've never seen a more diverse place than PH, both income- and ethnicity-wise.  Off the top of my head, we know PH families from France, Bolivia, Turkey, Germany, Australia, Russia, Kazakhstan, Philippines, India, Pakistan, Egypt, Nepal, China, Vietnam etc.  That's just the people we know.

I also don't see how it's snobbery to say that Marshall is a better school than FC High, since it happens to be a fact.   Plus, "enjoy your McMansions" doesn't really say good things about you. [/quote]

Not the Falls Church poster, but you do know how disingenuous your comments are, right?

There's a difference between saying Marshall is "better" because it has higher SAT scores than Falls Church (or, for that matter, that Langley, McLean and Madison are all "better" than Marshall because they have higher SAT scores and are rated more highly by U.S. News) and suggesting, as some of the PH folks have done, that people would be "crazy," "morons," etc,  to live in the FCHS district.

And I assume the "enjoy your McMansions" comment was a response to the PH boosters who claimed, incorrectly, that no new homes get built in 22042.

But it is nice to hear about the diversity in PH, even if you apparently think less highly of the even greater diversity in other areas. [/quote]
I have no opinion of the "even greater diversity" in other areas. I simply stated that I find PH a very diverse place, more diverse than any I've lived at. If you want to think that this means I think "less highly" of other places, that's on you.[/quote]
