[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We have lived in both and DH prefers Reston for racial and socioeconomic diversity and length of commute to HS. We are both from the NVA area. GF area has a lot of really high levels of wealth. Reston has a lot of mix, including quite a bit of upper middle class but not as much extreme wealth (at least not in your face wealth, maybe stealth wealth).

The one thing I will warn you is that from our personal experience, elementary schools vary quite drastically even within Reston. [b]Although they are all "fine,"[/b] we have been at two very different ones and much prefer the one we are at now, due to significantly higher parental involvement, higher baseline academic standards, much lower teacher turnover, and fewer behavioral incidents. For us this correlated to the level of socioeconomics that fed into the elementary schools. YMMV. [/quote]

Dogwood isn't "fine". Sunrise Valley is preferred.[/quote]

By whom?  If I could choose any ES in Reston, I'd choose Lake Anne, Terraset, or Hunter's Woods.[/quote]

I guess it is not Reston but close enough that I count it, we love Fox Mill. We love the Japanese Immersions. Rachel Carson is suppose to be a great Middle School. South Lakes is a fine school, especially for families were the parents are engaged. We can walk to the grocery store and the Metro will be close by when it opens. There are two pools to pick from.
