Longfellow is superior to Cooper.[/quote]

+1.

Nearly twice as many Longfellow students earn admission to TJ as compared to Cooper:

All FCPS middle schools are represented in the Class of 2029:

Longfellow Middle School - 48

Cooper Middle School - 25
Frost Middle School - 19
Katherine Johnson Middle School - 14
Kilmer Middle School - 13
Lake Braddock Middle School - 17
Rocky Run Middle School - 22[/quote]

You'd better hope your Longfellow kid gets into TJ because McLean HS is falling apart and dropping in the rankings.  It had a good principal but now she's gone, too.  [/quote]

Can you tell us more about this? How is McLean falling apart? Like walls crumbling? Plumbing leaks? Tell us more, please (ES mom zoned to McLean, now getting a little worried about my child's safety)[/quote]

Plumbing problems galore, but they did get some patchwork bathroom improvements done in the past year or so (took a couple tries though, there were still clogs and backups originally). Leaks causing ceiling tiles to change color (and who knows what mold/mildew accumulating behind) and in some cases tiles have dropped (no injuries I'm aware of). No heat in the band room last winter. The School Board did approve replacing that equipment over the summer, don't know the timeline for execution. No power the first day of school this year though I am not sure if it was specific to the school or a broader power issue in the area. Students started an Instagram documenting it all called something like McLeanRot, I forget the exact name. The school was renovated about 20 years ago but it was done on the cheap and not comparable to renovations that other Fairfax County HS have received since (and likewise, other schools that were renovated around the same time as McLean were shortchanged, it's not a McLean-only issue).[/quote]
