[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I found the Fairfax County Appraisal site that shows property assessments (values) dropping in McLean -0.475 and Great Falls -2.83%, up 0.29% in Vienna (I think this is different from the Town of Vienna) and up 0.68% for the whole County.  Just to help see it all in perspective.   http://www.fairfaxcounty.gov/news2/2017-real-estate-assessments/  If you go down the page there's a map that shows the different districts and the change in assessments.  Not good news for my retirement plans.

The SAT numbers are interesting.  My son is taking ACTs this morning and I hear that more and more kids are taking ACTs rather than SATs.  I don't know what effect this has.  Also many kdis who don't plan to go to college or want to go to the local Virginia schools don't have to take SATs or ACTs.  How much difference could that be having?  It was expensive and a lot of work to prepare for these tests (my daughter took the SATs two years ago).[/quote]

Assessments in most McLean single-family neighborhoods in 22101 were up this year, so if the overall assessments were down in McLean it may be due to larger declines in the assessments in homes and condos in 22102. [/quote]

On your other point, I think the increasing taking of ACTs just underscores that students are trying to get into good schools, and recognize that, comparatively speaking, their ACT scores may look better than their SAT scores.  [/quote]
