[quote=Anonymous]We are a Herndon family. Middle class, single family house with a stay at home parent. Does our school have issues?  Yes, many. Do the academically driven students do well? Yes they do. Do the low income students with challenging family lives struggle? Yes, a lot. 
Would we move to a higher ranked school district? No. We love the community. My kids can walk to their friends’ houses, swimming pools, downtown area. I love the sense of community. We looked at homes in the Chantilly and Westfield pyramids, but those communities were just too sterile.

We are lucky our kids are hard working and do well in school. They play sports (can pretty much on any team as a freshman!)  and are involved in school activities. They are not part of the crazy rat-race I read about in “high achieving” schools. Do we have a bunch of top 10 acceptances? No. There are a lot of VT, UVA and JMU bound students who are happy with their results. In the end, I want my kids to have a positive high school / teenage experience, and be happy!  [/quote]
