[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I said it 10 pages ago, and I'll say it again.  Haycock = ratings.  The Q score of this school is off the charts in this area.[/quote]

New here and moving to VA soon. Just curious, what makes this school special/different from the other McLean schools in the area, or some of the Vienna schools? I heard the real estate prices are also significantly higher just because of this school. Is this really true? If so, why would that be and how is it different than any of the other well rated elementary schools in the immediate area?[/quote]

Real Estate prices are also influenced by nearby metro station and some near the Falls Church City line have walkability to Falls Church proper.

I am partial to Chesterbrook.  Haycock and Kent Gardens are too big IMO.  It is the Center school for AAP, so some students from the other McLean pyramid ES attend (except for Kent Gardens which gores to Churchill Road AAP Center), but all have a local Level IV AAP.  Most of the LLIV AAP students at Chesterbrook stay at Chesterbrook.  I also like the exposure to Chinese at Chesterbrook.  Kent Gardens has the French Immersion program and only recently has become a LLIV school, but their current Principal was AP at Haycock, so she came with experience.  Franklin Sherman also recently added LLIV and is smaller, many like it too- much of its district is waling distance to McLean Center.  It is a split feeder (students on the northern side of 123 go to Cooper Langley).

You really can't go wrong with any of the schools- all have strong parent PTAs (some are probably too strong) that raise gobs and gobs of money.  All are having trouble retaining teachers due to commute and salary.  [/quote]
