[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]We spent more than a year trying to find a decent 3-bedroom house to buy or rent in Falls Church City on what we thought was an ample budget. We gave up. But when we started looking in Arlington, we found a place a few blocks from W-L, and bought it, in less than a month.  [/b]

There are disadvantages to being small where IB Diploma subject options go. For example, language study outside Spanish is much better at W-L. My kid is in their kick-ass Higher Level IBD Chinese class, which Meridian doesn't teach. He attends the Chinese club weekly. Three dozen kids routinely turn up to chat in Mandarin. I'm told that at least half of these kids speak Chinese really well, often because they're native speakers. Meridian is seriously white and blah. Chummy yes, but in an upscale heavily Caucasian way.

OP, the bolded part above is something to keep in mind, even if you are renting and not buying. FCC is very small, so the housing stock is limited. We lived in FCCPS in early elementary, tried to find a house, and then moved on to APS (also zoned for W-L) when we couldn't. [/quote]

OP here. Yes I noticed this too. However there does not appear to be anywhere else in this area that has a public HS under 1000 students in size … so that’s why I have it on my list. [/quote]

(Also for more info - I just need a 2 bd apartment and it looks like there are at least 3 well within my budget zoned for FFCPS. And more space for the money than DC or even Ballston!) [/quote]

(I mean 3 apartment complexes, not 3 apartments total!)[/quote]
