[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think Meridian, Yorktown, W&L, McLean, Langley - as well as the private schools around here - are all somewhat intense and competitive. That said, I think there's something about the smaller student body and small-town feel that is more supportive of kids in FCCPS.[/quote] If by “small town” you mean “ everyone’s up in your business while neglecting their own, and they really don’t like people they deem to be outsiders” then yeah.[/quote] +100 This was our experience in FCC a few years back. Kids whose parents went to FCC schools, were "known" in the community, etc, had an easier time. Children of diplomats who weren't around for long and newcomers were pushed around and seen as "less than."[/quote]
