[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just move to Fairfax and attend a public school.  I don't think you'll find most privates to fit your vibe.  On the other hand, I have a cousin who definitely does fit your description and she sent her kids to Fairfax Public Schools (and went there as well) and they've worked well for her and for her family.[/quote]

As someone who left FCPS, the system is a mess. Adding extra 3 hour early dismissals for elementary schools on a pretext and then keeping them after promising families they wouldn't. The Hayfield football scandal. The boundary change mess that has managed to offend literally every possibly type of constituency. The school board is more focused on using the position as a stepping stone and the central office is incompetant. And I wouldn't call the system right of center by any stretch of the imagination, unless you have a time machine to take you back to the late 90s.[/quote]

+1. There's a small handful of FCPS schools that are well-liked, mostly because they have good administrators, e.g., Chantilly High School, and families who are ready and able to go to battle when there's a serious issue, e.g., Woodson parents pushing back when the School Board tried to make it an IB school years ago. Leadership at the top is a mess and that filters down. [/quote]
