[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Haycock is toxic. Shrevewood is very down to earth and diverse. Lemon Road is incredibly welcoming to everyone. [/quote]

Shrevewood parents did everything they could to try and keep their AAP kids at Haycock rather than move to Lemon Road. When that effort failed, as Haycock was full (it was shortly before Haycock’s renovation), they started attacking Haycock, and some have yet to move on.

If any of these schools is toxic, it’s Shrevewood.

How is Shrevewood toxic? We are zoned for the school, but our kids entered the pyramid in middle, so we don’t have experience with it. Many of our neighbors with elementary age kids attend private, which I have always wondered about… the school seems to have a good mix of students? [/quote]

I don't think Shrevewood is toxic - at least not anymore. The Haycock issue parents have almost all aged out at this point, and the new Administration has lots of positive energy. As for private schools, a lot of zoned kids attend St. James, which is right down 7 from the school. I know some families switched to St. James during the pandemic (hence some relief from the past overcrowding), but there were always lots of families in the neighborhoods which started with St. James given the proximity to the school and lower home prices than other adjacent areas (City of Falls Church and McLean pyramid).
