It was mentioned previously in the thread. Not that you can't mention it again, but it was already on the radar.

It's like someone saying STAY AWAY from madison or oakton because McLean is soooo much better. The truth is when you review SATs, SOLs etc... the differences between the pyramids of madison, oakton, marshall, mclean are minuscule and certain schools are stronger than others in math, english etc... should we tell
For example, Marshall is much better than Oakton and McLean, but the rest of the scores are very close.

Face it, prices for real estate are higher in ALL of the above school pyramids because they are very good. It's no accident you moron.
This is from someone who doesn't live in a Marshall pyramid but does have a clue.
Wow, how rude and uncalled for. No need to be so nasty and what's with the name calling?
Since oakton was mentioned, and I live in oakton, I will say that the schools here are wonderful. The families are very involved and very nice. We are very happy here. Good luck op.

This is from someone who doesn't live in a Marshall pyramid but does have a clue.
Granted, the PP was being jerky, but your reaction is even more over-the-top.
Signed,
Someone who recognizes the poster who owns rentals in the Marshall pyramid, but doesn't "live" there.

All well above the national average.
Any typical upper middle class fcps family will likely be perfectly successful at any of these school pyramids.
I would not mark any of these high achieving high schoops off your list and instead focus on home, community, school culture (middle and high school), elementary size and focus, and quality of life issues.
Academically, any of these high schools are exceptional and you don't need to limit yourself to four schools to achieve a high quality education for your kids.
