[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm a Fairfax County resident but with grown kids so I have no skin in the game at this point,  and I honestly couldn't read through every page of this discussion (though I find it interesting how much attention it is garnering), but I get the gist of the varying viewpoints and why everyone would be so fired up. However, regardless of what anyone thinks about TJ, don't you think getting rid of it would affect our real estate values? I know it's a bit selfish of me, but I'm going to sell in about 5-10 years, and I'm fairly confident that an FCPS without TJ would not be as desirable to buyers and industry alike. OK, fire away... I've armoured myself for your abuse...[/quote]

:-).  I'm one of the pro-TJ posters. One kid about to be done with TJ and another at a base HS since I will not have skin in the game in about a year.  I'm mainly posting to shut up the racists.

I don't think RE values will be impacted if TJ is gone.  It might actually go up if your school is a good one.  For example, a lot of the TJ kids come from the Herndon/Reston area.  They are zoned to South Lakes or Herndon High.  If TJ is gone, those parents will move to other areas zoned to Oakton, Madison or Mclean to get a "better" education for their kids and RE values in that area will go up. [/quote]

Those kids are mostly zoned for Oakton and Chantilly, not Herndon and South Lakes.

However, if they were attending their base schools, boundaries would need to be adjusted. [/quote]

They definately would. RRMS and Carson both feed lids into Chantilly, which is so incredibly overcrowded.   They would probably get 160-200 kids back.  The capacity isn’t there.  [/quote]
