[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I will caveat my comment: we are a white family so l may not understand/grasp nuances.  We live in Franconia (Bush Hill ES).  Never realized how much I appreciated diversity until my children started attending BHES.  So I would agree with the Kingstowne posters and would also recommend neighboring/overlapping Franconia or Springfield.  As to Edison v Hayfield, both appear to be good schools for kids who are motivated to do well.  Both are diverse.  You can look to the websites for both schools to see demographics and relevant test scores.  My son attends Edison, theoretically one of the worst-performing schools in Fairfax County, and he was happy there.  And I was satisfied with his education.[/quote]

I went to Edison as well. Of course I am much older, but I think the neighborhood is fairly the same. I now earn six figures and I'm in my early 30s. I think if you are in the advanced classes the experience will be very different. Almost everyone I know in advanced classes moved on to greater things in life. I will add that there are not as many black people in the advanced classes. I would say there were probably less than 50 total when I was going. [/quote]
