The school was just renovated. It's Title 1 which means small classes and lots of resources available to everyone regardless of income. Nice families and kids.

My friends liked it especially the smaller class size and the fact that other children were all in easy walking distance. Seems like a nice close knit neighborhood.

Why is it bad? Note, I grew up in an area that spends something like 2K per year per pupil...and I turned out fine. Is it a school that would be awesome anywhere else in the country but just not in VA?

Also, DS is 8 months, so I imagine we could move by the by the time he get to HS (or the HS could be completely different by then).

Most people try and stay out of Falls Church HS.

Dh and I are thinking of looking at a house in the area, but we have no clue about the elementary school there. Middle school is Jackson and HS is Falls Church.
