This does seen like a good boundary solution. We are zoned for FCHS and loved it - and it is going to be beautiful once the renovation is complete. The McLean schools are so overcrowded for years, with no renovation in sight, that [b]I am surprised it has not had an effect on the real estate market there.[/b]

[b]It's the location for commutes.[/b]   Lots depends on where each of a couple works.  If you have to get out of a current rental or whatever the reason...  Some worse SFH houses for Chesterbrooke went under contract much quicker than stuff for KG.  Similar price points.   [/quote]

Good point on the commutes. And on the ES - I wonder if people care more about overcrowding at ES or HS? I suppose people buying houses with young kids are focused on the ES and, as you say, assume (maybe incorrectly) that FCPS will finally give MHS the expansion it needs.[/quote]

ES is 7 years and most are in the same room with a teacher for most of the 7.  HS is 4 and each subject is in a different classroom.  Worse is the fact that KG has been a problem from the days of 2nd class students-citizens whatever for non immersion.

As for IB that thing should be at max 3 high schools- west, middle, east FX.  VDOE has the senior IB candidate pools and the number that got the diploma per school:
	2020-21 IB diplomas		
Lewis 	4	SR pool	4
Mount	12	SR pool	19
Annandale	29	SR pool	31
Justice      42	SR pool	68
Edison      43	SR pool	52
South Lakes55	SR pool	61
Marshall    95	SR pool	98
Robinson 124	SR pool	138
	404		471

Just too weird that FCPS has IB at MV which is the site for on base housing for Fort Belvoir, US Army.

The IB diploma is a poor metric for its utility. Students can take IB classes and receive college credit, just like AP, without getting the IB diploma.[/quote]
