[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Chesterbrook/Longfellow/McLean were disappointing despite the high ratings. Fairfax County is like a machine (one size only). We had a much better experience in Arlington, which offered a variety of environments, like the Hippie school, Montessori options, etc. The teachers in Arlington were better and actually knew my kids; in Fairfax only the top or bottom kids get attention. Also, the kids/parents in FCPS were insufferable. [/quote] Not our experience at all (plenty of differentiation and personal attention), and we thought Longfellow and McLean were fantastic. Our kids were in a different pyramid for ES. We'd lived in Arlington previously, and there was a fair amount of controversy over the "Hippie school" (HB Woodlawn), with a lot of people convinced there were unfair sibling preferences taking place when it came to admission.
