[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We live in Hollin Hall and yes it's wishful thinking but I see so much $$$ development in our area and so many young families moving in...just wondering if our high school is poised to dramatically improve by time our kids have to go there.....[/quote]

Most likely not, because the perception of school quality is generally relative.  So in order for West Potomac to "move up," other schools would have to "move down."  I do agree with you that there is a lot of expensive development coming in, but that's the case in a LOT of places in Fairfax County.  If anything, I think it would be more likely that a school like Falls Church, where new townhomes cost nearly $1 million, would make bigger gains than a school like West Potomac.[/quote]

Dp- umm no. Another nearby school doesn't have to move down. Jeez people. 
Poverty, however does have to move away. Not just be redirected. I don't think you will see gentrification of those poorer areas anytime soon.
