Pretty much. It's embarrassing. Check out some of the threads where people ask about Lake Braddock, West Springfield, or Robinson in FFX county. All three have healthy rivalries. Yet if a poster asks about buying into a certain pryamid you see responses like this:

" we chose X school, but have friends at Y that really love it!"

" you can't go wrong with any of them. Decide if you prefer IB or AP. Aside from that - all great schools"

" we liked the band dept at Z but think we would have been pleased at Y as well"

Etc etc etc....

We look like such assholes.[/quote]
That's because the three Fairfax schools you mentioned all have similar demographics. The posts generally are similarly "nice" where, say, Langley and McLean, or Madison and Oakton, are concerned. People at one school won't say something negative about the other school because it would be tantamount to self-criticism. The dynamic changes where schools have significantly different demographic profiles, as at Yorktown and W-L.  It makes the people in Arlington look like the biggest a-holes because no two high schools in APS are alike.[/quote]
