[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]PP is exactly the type of ratings-obsessed person who leads many to consider fleeing to other jurisdictions. God forbid your average test scores arguably tip you into the bottom third of FCPS high schools - no matter that FCPS is the highest performing of any of the large school districts in the DC region - someone will call it out as if the school is a basket case.  By the same logic, W-L in Arlington is in the bottom half of schools in APS, and Gid forbid PP looks at some of the Loudoun stats.  Ridiculous.  [/quote]

Hello Westfield parent! Did you read what I said before you decided it was ridiculous?  I didn't say Westfield was terrible.  In fact I said it was not a bad school,  and probably did have some great students   And also made the point that if you want to buy in the Herndon/ Chantilly area, you can buy into better schools without spending more money. (And you haven't pointed to anything that makes my assertion that Chantilly and Oakton are stronger incorrect). And yes, when we moved, I looked carefully at the demographics, test scores, etc of the schools before we bought.  Maybe that makes me rating obsessed. But, I can't imagine making huge decisions like which house to buy and where to educate my kids without doing the research.  If you can, more power to you. [/quote]
