[quote=Anonymous]Sorry that the Woodson poster derailed your thread, OP.

All of those schools are fairly similar.   It really just boils down to where you are able to find housing.  If you lived here in the past, you might want to try to focus on areas where your kids might run into old friends.  If you are a military family, you might want to concentrate on Lake Braddock, West Springfield, Robinson, South County or Hayfield to have your community nearby and easier access to things like the commissary and BX.  Those high schools deal with a lot of military kids, so they tend to have more robust support for the kids and more familiarity and experience with some of the transcript issues that pop up when a kid has attended different high schools in several states and countries.  Those schools will also offer a large peer group of other military kids with experience in that lifestyle, and things like military ambassadors clubs where those kids can connect and find support from a large peer group.

Each school pyramid is akin to an entire district in most other places in the country, so most families (with the exception of a few here online that like to argue about stuff that doesn't really reflect reality on the ground) are really only focused on their own schools and neighborhoods.

You might get a few families with experience in 2 of the high school pyramids or multiple elementary schools due to where they are able to find housing after pcsing in and out of the area, but they are the exception.  [/quote]
