[quote=Anonymous]We moved from one of the worst school pyramids to one of the best in FCPS. For a long time, I planned to send my kids to the low rated high school. Having a paid off house in our familiar neighborhood was appealing. We ended up moving to McLean and the peer group is significantly different. School PTA is better funded and school is extremely academically oriented. We are at an AAP center. In our former neighborhood, my kids were always the smartest with little effort. I am sure and had hoped they would be fine if they stayed at their old school. At the end, I am glad we moved. My kids have found a love of chess from chess club, something our school didn’t have. Yes, they had a chess after school program but nothing like in McLean. That being said, there are a lot of schools and pyramids between the lowest and highest rated schools. I am sure you can find a decent school in your budget in FCPS and your kids will have a great experience. I personally would not choose justice. Burke. W Springfield, Fairfax, Centreville and Chantilly all have excellent schools.[/quote]
