[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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]

Probably similar to the other schools, they're all great in the area. But I heard rumors that the math is really strong at Haycock. Not sure how true this is though, or if it can even be meaningfully measured in elementary school.[/quote]

It is. My 4th grader did fraction equations with variables early this year. It is the only elementary school in the area to compete at the middle school level in the math Olympiad. The school is very strong in humanities - the 6th grade team won the state championship in history and it seems that their project was so good it will be displayed at the National Museum of American History. The kids write a lot, including poetry. [b]It's actually much cheaper to buy into Haycock and the school is much more diverse, economically and ethnically, than the other McLean schools.[/b] [/quote]

That's not true.  Haycock is in Falls Church, not McLean, but it's more expensive on average to buy into the Haycock ES district than the Kent Gardens ES district and Spring Hill ES is more diverse than Haycock.

Maybe you just meant the other AAP center in the McLean area, Churchill Road?  [/quote]

Haycock’s [i]postal address[/i] is Falls Church, but it is in the census’s definition of McLean as well as the McLean Community Center’s tax district.  The post office frequently gives postal addresses that are more logical for their distrubutipn.  For example, there are many people near the Arlington/McLean border that have an Arlington postal address but reside in Fairfax County who pay taxes to Fairfax County and whose children attend FCPS.
