[quote=Anonymous]It’s small. That can be good or bad. We live just across the border in Arlington and most of my kids’ preschool buddies went to FCC. If you have more than 2 kids or 1 parent who doesn’t do school pick-up/drop off, the grade levels of the schools guarantee you almost always have kids at multiple schools. Camps and other school closure support in the area is based on Fairfax’s schedule first and Arlington 2nd. If your kids are social, well liked, and well behaved - great! If not, there is no where to go and reinvent themselves or start over. We know a family who moved to Arlington because their son was typecast in Kinder as a “bad kid” and even as he matured, he always had that baggage. Same goes for gossip - kids and adults. If you are an outcast, it is lonely. In Arlington there are more people and more options to change friend groups or try new things. Personally I don’t see the point in paying a premium. We are so close that we shop at the FCC Harris Teeter and frequent the strip on Broad St, but we live in Arlington and our kids go to APS schools. [/quote]
