[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Also, keep in mind that there are no bad school pyramids in Fairfax County, where the schools are all at least good. Some high schools send more kids to more competitive colleges and universities, but a motivated and talented individual with engaged and supportive parents can do well from any County high school. [/quote] This is BS. Some of the worst school pyramids in the DC area (aside from PGCPS) are in Fairfax County. OP, pyramids you will want to avoid are Falls Church, Edison, Westfield, Herndon, South Lakes, Mount Vernon, Lee, West Potomac, Justice, Hayfield. Those schools are almost entirely reliant on school lunch rations, and are heavy minority, mostly from Latin America. I honestly wouldn’t recommend any high school in FCPS, Langley is the bottom line but it is rapidly declining and will get zoned with some kids from Tyson’s, which will ruin its composition. [/quote] Not the kids from Tysons!! 🙄🙄 [/quote] Anecdotally speaking, the overwhelming families in Tyson’s live in town houses, and are much more affordable than the average Great Falls western Mclean household feeder. Not to mention they have a much higher percentage of URMs that are underserved and below the poverty line which is a FACT [/quote] So? I went to Marshall, which seems to strike the sweet spot (at least according to those on here) of diversity and performance. I would happily send my kids to most FCPS high schools. A motivated student js going to do fine anywhere. Langley is not immune from issues despite the wealth of its students. [/quote] That is why the above statement mentions PP not recommending any school in FCPS. Issues everywhere. [/quote] PP is objectively full of shit. [/quote]
