[quote=Anonymous]People who keep bringing up FCCPS zoning out Tinner Hill area when school district separated from Fairfax  -it happened 70 years ago. Currently it’s a very liberal leaning city that is trying to change and add more diversity through affordable housing initiatives. But with only two square miles of very limited land, small inventory of single family housing and HIGH HIGH priced homes and taxes it’s very hard to change the demographics. A real positive is only one line of schools, so the kids your child goes to elementary with will be the same kids your child goes to high school with - no rezoning of schools ever. Also, at Mt Daniel Elementary (which runs kinder thru second grade) nearly every teacher has a masters and they teach with a paraprofessional who has an undergraduate degree. It’s also a really nice way to start school with only the youngest set together (i.e. kinder to second). It is a small town with everyone knowing everyone, and very vocal parents, sometimes unreasonably demanding things of the administration, but I find that will always be the case when people are paying the highest tax rates in VA- they feel entitled. But because it’s so small it’s also nimble - we were able to get every teacher vaccinated by end of March, and first in NOVA to reopen schools. Good luck finding a house. We could not afford to live here if we were buying today.  [/quote]
