[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am the OP, thanks for feedback. How much does administration affect kids' experiences?  In other words, if there are good teachers, programs, etc. will it really matter to my kids if the principal isn't the best? Honestly asking.  I'm more concerned at this point about the high school, hadn't realized South Lakes didn't offer AP classes, but we might end up there anyway. Fairfax school district and schools are way bigger than what we're used to, but can't afford private.[/quote]

I have an issue with the SLHS admin.  It does not impact the quality of teachers my DC deals with.  DC is in all honors classes and a track that takes some IB classes but not full diploma.  DC has complaints here and there about a teacher, mainly their teaching style versus a more tenured teacher's style on the same subject.  DC will have to get used to that in college so not a big concern for me.  The guidance counselor is really good and certain teachers that are very engaged with DC has made a difference.  I have another child who graduated from there, not as intense of classes and also had good experiences with the teachers.  For me, admin is important when there are issues. There was one that needed to be addressed and not handled well (in my opinion). Otherwise the school has great school spirit, a mix of cultures and gave my first child a solid education.  [/quote]
