[quote=Anonymous]We looked at homes in Lake Barcroft a year or so ago. I am not against higher FARMS schools, but it seemed like Justice HS was the real deal breaker..the elementary school was widely loved and middle school seemed passable, with some speculation it will improve over time as new families move in. However, the Justice seems split into IB v non-IB and most of the conversations we had within the neighborhood seems to feel that if our kids were gifted or IB, it would be fine bc it’s like a parallel track. However, one of our kids has a learning disorder, and give the high needs of FARMS kids, it seemed unlikely our child’s needs would be adequately met, so we passed. To say people avoid the schools bc they are diverse is disingenuous. The strategy of skimming kids to gifted hubs or separating IB track leaves a very high needs population that I think is unfair, but I’m not willing to sacrifice my kid’s education. Fairfax needs to fix it. [/quote]
