[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I used to live in that area but have since moved. Schools are terrible and I don't think the lake is reason enough to stay. My friends who remain in the area send kids to private schools.

Annandale has great places to eat, though. But I wouldn't buy a house just to get some good takeout. [/quote]

Do tell what you mean by "schools are terrible"?

Were the Justice High students admitted this year or last year to Princeton, American, Notre Dame, Yale, Syracuse, Cal Tech, Ohio State, Michigan, Wesleyan, Penn State, UVA, William & Mary, UCLA, JMU, GW, Georgia, Smith, Clemson, Rutgers, USC, Virginia Tech, Middlebury, Georgetown, Maryland, Pitt, and W&L not served well?

Oh, come off it. Justice is a troubled school with — among other things  — high student poverty rates, high teacher turnover rates, and low academic achievement. It’s at the bottom of the barrel along with the likes of Lewis and Annandale. Sure, some students go on to prestigious colleges and universities (Justice like all FCPS high schools is large) but don’t give off an impression that that’s typical. Those kids are in a very small minority.[/quote]

Why are you so hostile?  Does it bother you that you went deep into debt to buy a house in the Langley district only to find out the top kids at Justice go to top schools while your Langley kid barely got into JMU?  [/quote]
