[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Because it is the sole reason many won't recommend Alexandria, which is head-and-shoulders above Springfield. I don't know OP, but maybe she isn't so frightened as many of the suburban masses are to send her kids to a diverse (ethnically and economically) school.[/quote]

When you say "Alexandria" you need to specify that you are referring to the CITY of Alex. Public Schools... b/c those of us speaking of Kingstowne (Hayfield and Island Creek schoools) are referring OP to the Alexandria portion of Fairfax County Public Schools.

And by the way, the two schools I mentioned are very diverse, they just have low FARMs (less than 15%).  When you go over to schools in Springfield (those off the parkway) such as Orange Hunt and Sangster, you tend to get a more white student population and a very low FARMs rate too.  All of these schools have good test scores, are close to Springfield and commuting options, and close to the retail center of Kingstowne Town Center (which is easy to get to, easy to park at, and not as stressful as some other popular areas).[/quote]
