[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP should just find a private, though probably difficult at this late date. She and her kid sound too high maintenance for FCPS. [/quote]

I didn’t get that at all about OP.

OP, the problem with the big leagues as a PP referred is yes the houses will be a bit older. I can’t imagine buying a house that’s more than say 25 yrs old, so I disagree with your DH.

I bet most of the people here who send their kids to say Langley, McLean, Oakton don’t have much older houses. No one (here) would make that much of a sacrifice for those schools.

So if you can afford to buy a newish house, go for it. If not, pick Lake Braddock, Chantilly high etc. Simple.

And no way can you pupil place or do anything whatsoever (other than boundary fraud which it seems some people are doing gleefully) because your zoned school is IB or poorly rated.

Lots of people at Langley, McLean, Oakton, etc., live in homes built in the 1990s or earlier.  And, yes, many opt for such a house when it would cost as much as a new house, typically further out, zoned for a different school.

That’s not to say OP has to find a house zoned for Langley, McLean, Oakton, etc - just that the line that you’re drawing is artificial and doesn’t align with the decisions that a lot of folks make.  Some of the most traditional neighborhoods zoned for Langley, for example, are subdivisions like Langley Oaks, Shouse Village, McLean Hunt, and McLean Hamlet built in the 1960s-1980s.  [/quote]
