[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You can't go wrong with West Springfield, Lake Braddock, or Robinson.  All three are great schools - excellent academics, low pressure, enough diversity (ethnic, social, economic, personality) that your kids will find their place.

Woodson has a rep of being a pressure cooker of overscheduled kids, hyper-involved parents, and suicides.  I'm sure type-A, super driven, competitive types are very very happy there.  If your kid doesn't fall into that category, probably not the best environment. [/quote]

Meh.  You trade in crude stereotypes.

You could just as easily claim that West Springfield, Lake Braddock and Robinson are second-tier schools where middle-brow types who can't afford homes in the top school districts, but are scared of majority-minority schools with too much (as opposed to "enough") diversity, congregate to pat each other on the back and compare notes on Virginia Tech and JMU.

I went to an Ivy League college from a public school and live in the Robinson / LBSS / WSHS area. I think we consider ourselves to be down to earth and people who are professional like doctors and lawyers but for work life balance reason chose to work for the government or work part time. I think we think our schools are awesome. My kids are only in ES and I think the older kids I see at our local HS are awesome and going to great colleges so much so that I don't see a reason to think it would be "better" if my kids went to TJ.

I think you think we think Woodson should be avoided if you trash it and then say some generically nice things about your school that could be said about any school in the county, but you're wrong.

I don't have any thoughts on Woodson nor did I share any in my response.[/quote]
