[quote=Anonymous]22:13 and 22:37 The neighborhoods in Westbriar Elementary, Wolftrap Elementary, Vienna Elementary, Freedom Hill Elementary, Dunn Loring Woods (Cunningham Park and Stenwood) all have children who go on to Marshall. Many houses over $1 million. I don't think they appreciate being called "dumpy". People need to be more careful with what they consider dumpy these days in Vienna. Vienna is so expensive that any area of the town is primarily upper middle class now. Cunningham Park has always been considered the dumpiest of all Vienna, but I noticed this year it had the highest DRA reading scores of all the Vienna area schools so even houses in that boundary are on the up and up. Berryville and Tanglewood I believe are still Vienna. The only area I can think that might be considered Oakton in the Madison high school boundary is along Stewart Mill Road which friends in Flint Hill Elementary near to Vienna complain is "so far" away for them to drive to. For all we know. that area someday will shift over to Oakton High and Crossfield Elementary since Crossfield is undercrowded. I' m not sure why you're trying to tear down a neighboring school so much. I grew up here 20 years ago and know the area pretty well. Even then, all the schools around here were considered very good including Marshall and South Lakes. We knew many children from church who attended these neighboring high schools. 2534 Swift Run Street, 9004 Lupine Den Dr., and 9597 Thistle Ridge Lane are all for sale in the Marshall High School pyramid for over 1 million as an example of non-dumpy houses feeding into Marshall. Maybe they don't have as much land as houses along Stewart Mill Road which unfortunately was turned from a pretty country road into McMansion land, but they are soon to be near at least 3 metro stations.[/quote]
