[quote=Anonymous]As a Mosby Woods/Jackson/Oakton parent, I have been pleased overall with my kids' experiences at their schools so far (knocking on wood).  Overcrowding due to rapid growth the past several years, combined with aging facilities, and the overarching FCPS issues have been challenging at all levels.  It is unfortunate for us that friends at Mosby Woods go to other MS, and friends at Jackdon go to other HS.  Oakton HS will be undergoing a significant renovation that might be completed for my youngest child's sophomore year.  Administration and staff at Mosby and Javkson are great, and that goes a long way.  I like the community as a whole, though would acknowledge that Jackson's demographics do create a different atmosphere than Mosby Woods and Oakton.  I recognize that other parts of the county have it worse, and that it is too late to fix some of these problems for my kids, but I hope that the SB can come up with sensible solutions for this group of schools.  We need to align with one group for ES through HS, instead of Fairfax City/Marshall Rd for ES, falls church/ Vienna for MS and western parts of the county for HS.  The lack of continuity is lousy for the kids and parents, we'd like to go through as a cohort.[/quote]
