This pyramid has a great sense of community, especially as a Fairfax City resident. Daniels Run is 99% city residents (as opposed to Providence Elementary, which has a larger percentage of county kids). The city is able to supplement some of the offerings, like having a STEAM lab and Spanish class in elementary school. And, since all city residents go to city schools, we never have to worry about redistricting and boundary changes.[/quote]

Ha. Without Willow Springs and Powell ES families in the county propping up Johnson MS and Fairfax HS, it would be a bottom tier pyramid. [/quote]
I'm not familiar with Willow Springs or Powell. What is it about those kids?[/quote]

The Fairfax kids from those schools are higher performing than the kids from Providence and Daniels Run living in Fairfax City. [/quote]

I would love to know where people thing "poor kids" live in the City of Fairfax- is it the 1 million townhouses or the houses on the Army Navy Country Club golf course?[/quote]

In addition to the 1M+ houses around Army-Navy Country Club and in Farrcroft, there are also a decent number of lower-income/cheaper townhomes (on Courthouse near Ratcliffe Park, across from Woodson on the city border, older mews townhomes off Layton Hall near downtown), duplexes (surrounding Providence Park), and apartments (behind Chick-fil-A and near Providence Park), and smaller SFHs in Fairfax City. Those kids aren't all necessarily "poor," but the socioeconomic diversity is a selling point for us.[/quote]

There's some expensive real estate in every FCPS pyramid, but Fairfax HS has always seemed a bit rough when it comes to both the students and the parents.  Woodson is a better choice in that general area. [/quote]
