[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A while back were some gang issues at Longfellow (which feeds into McLean).  That is why Longfellow has many of its after school programs.    There hasn't been a problem in at least 5 years.

We have friends who daughter just graduated at South Lakes, having completed the IB program, she is headed to W&M.  They also did the Spanish immersion in ES and has success there too.  South Lakes is usually one of the HS people say to avoid, but if your child is a high achiever, the IB program serves them well.

I haven't heard good things about Edison, which is another HS people say to avoid.  However, the only first hand experience I have heard is from a friend whose son has some complicated special needs.  I would expect it is similar to South Lakes though.  Mount Vernon and Falls Church (HS in FCPS) are also schools people talk about to "avoid", but again they are large enough to have a "good student" cohort.
