Why is it that fcps offers IB program in Mount Vernon/Lewis/Justice/..., but not in McClean/Langley/Oakton/...?[/quote]

You chose not to include Marshall and Robinson.  Those are not low SES schools.[/quote]

They're all the same. It's a standard program. I know that's not what your real estate agent told you but it's true.[/quote]

Our prior real estate agent kept encouraging us to move out of our Title 1 pyramid because she said the schools were bad. She wanted us to move to the Langley pyramid. We got a new real estate agent. Not that we have anything against Langley but we disagreed strongly that our schools were bad and were very happy with how are kids were doing and we love our neighborhood. Our kids are in college and high school now and we have no regrets. [/quote]I call shenanigans.  The people who can afford Langley but instead choose Title 1 number around zero.  [/quote]

Wrong.  We can afford Langley but bought a 7 figure home in our title 1 pyramid because of the amazing community we live in.  We love living inside the beltway, have an easy commute everywhere, and live with a diverse and interesting populace that has broadened my world view.  I’m super active in the school, see daily how amazing the teachers and administrators are, and know that we made the right decision for our family.  The fear of poor people on DCUM is so irrational.  Most of the poor families we’ve met are immigrants who are trying so hard to live the American dream.  They want the best for their children just like rich people do.  Y’all are afraid of a ghost.  I’ll stay here.  [/quote]
