Viennia is a safe bet since any school covering that area is going to be excellent.
City of Falls Church schools are very good as well. Just avoid any area serving the Fairfax or Arlington areas of Falls Church. Ex. Any Fairfax School District that is served by Falls Church High School or Marshall High School.

I would suggest city of falls Church schools, George Mason high school is a great school. Mary Ellen Henderson middle school is the middle school for the city of falls Church. It used to be George Mason junior & senior high back in the days. Great schools system.

Housing prices in Falls Church city are higher than their neighbors' who live on the same block but are in Fairfax County for the simple reasons of the schools. Small system with an excellent reputation. In Vienna, you are at the whim of Fairfax's school board. They can redistrict you at the drop of the hat. Plus, Fairfax Schools have been on a steady decline since the 90s.

+1 last checked, there was only one house currently on the market for less than $1M in Falls Church.
Vienna has more than that. But, you'd have to live in Vienna. Bleh!

The City of Falls Church has excellent schools, but the school system is very small. If you want your kid to play in the marching band and and/or have a lot of clubs to choose from, send him/her to a larger school such as Oakton or Madison.

Because your kid is 12, he's headed to HS soon. All reputable rankings place GMHS in Falls Church ahead of JMHS.

Yes, this is really an issue if your kid is in many activities. While area schools are traveling a whopping 5-10 miles for an event, while George Mason kids are travelling 50-100 miles on a school night.

It would appear that some people from Falls Church are simply too stupid to understand that an overall rating of any school says nothing at all about how an individual child will fit in or perform there. GMHS in Falls Church is most definitely tiny in comparison to the high schools in Vienna Or Oakton. A single grade level at those schools might well include more students than all of GMHS taken together. Otherwise, the question is one of the individual interests and aptitudes of your child.

The motto of JMHS is: "Garbage in, garbage out." If that is the environment you want for your kid, so be it.

In 2015, City of Falls Church schools are better for almost all kids, except perhaps a few who really need a large high school for some reason.
If your children attend Vienna public schools, they will get shafted by the Fairfax County School Board's predilection for redistributing resources away from schools located in areas like Vienna and into schools located in areas that have a higher percentage of low-income kids. In contrast, the City of Falls Church has only one high school, so all of your property taxes will go to your own children's school.

TJ is of course a selective (you have to apply and be admitted) regional high school for outstanding STEM students that is operated by Fairfax County Public Schools. They do I think allow three students from Falls Church City Public Schools to enter each year. FairFax County Public Schools meanwhile operates a couple of dozen high schools and secondary schools. The same curricula, the same administrators, and the same pool of teachers support them all.

I went to GMHS and it was okay, but once I got to college and talked to other kids that went to large high schools, I felt like I missed out on a lot. Mason is tiny, very tiny. Everybody knows everything about your life and that gets old quickly.

If your son is involved in sports, George Mason HS is a small school (~750) and offers fewer different sports each season compared to larger FCPS schools. Also, because of its small size it has the worst travel schedule of ANY NoVa high school in team sports currently and going into the next conference realignment. Bull Run District includes Strasburg, Clarke County, Madison County, etc., so a lot of time on the bus to events.
Sports travel would be a lot less crazy with a larger FCPS school like Madison ~2,050), Marshall (~1,900), Oakton (~2,250), or McLean (~2,025).
Thoreau/Madison parent and really like the schools, but also know a lot of Marshall families too. Marshall was just completely rebuilt and reopened this past fall. In Vienna 22181/22182/22180 be careful about split feeders to Thoreau (also rebuilt opening this coming fall) and Kilmer then to Madison/Marshall -- they don't all line up...maps on FCPS website.

We should all try to remember that the next time 2015 rolls around. In the meantime, there are no bromides about either FCPS or FCCPS that are going to make any sense at all except to mindless hometown partisans. The one thing that can be fairly said is that FCPS is a very large system (187,000 or so students in nearly 200 schools and centers), and FCCPS is a very small system (fewer than 2,500 students in 5 schools and centers.) The annual budget of FCPS is around $2.6 billion, while that of FCCPS is less than $45 million.

LOL! FCPS does not pretend that one-size-fits-all funding formulas will work well across a county of 400 square miles, more than 1.1 million residents, those nearly 200 schools, and 187,000 public school students. All FCCPS has to worry about is 2 square miles, 13,500 resident, 5 schools, and 2,400 students. By comparison, they amount to a one-room schoolhouse.

Not all Falls Church City taxes go to fund its city's school system, and of the dollars that do go to FCCPS, not all go to its single, small high school. The Falls Church City Council and its school board determine school funding allocations there, just as the Fairfax County Board of Supervisors and its school board do in Fairfax County. In both cases, you pay your taxes, and your elected reps decide what they want to do with the money.

As far as I can tell the only thing lacking from GMHS that JMHS has is crew. On the flip side, GMHS has hockey.

Falls Church is a crowded and fast-fading dump. It's future is as an imitation high-rise Rosslyn across the way from big-time Tysons. Those entering the market with eyes for a durable SFH-based suburban community with green spaces and upscale amenities will need to look someplace else.

Not sure about gymnastics at GMHS either. And as noted, the larger part of the downside of sports at such a small school may come in lower quality of the coaching and medical staffs, lower overall skill levels in both teammates and opponents, and of course those difficult travel schedules.

It's not of course. Bozos who don't understand simple statistics are the only ones doltish enough to make such claims, thoroughly misunderstanding the quirky classification by some sources of Virginia's independent cities as if they were counties. Go down to the turnip-truck unloading dock if you want to sell slop like that. Elsewhere, the fact that little tiny itty-bitty Falls Church City is an orange misplaced into a bushel of apples such as Arlington, Fairfax, Prince William, and Loudoun COUNTIES will cause people to laugh at you. Just as I'm doing.

That would certainly not include you or any of the dull-brained media peewees who get assigned to updating such lowly and miscast data to begin with. Any sensible analysis would roll the independent cities into the counties they are mosr closely associated with. Many do that, some do not.

LOL! I'd be qualified at levels that soar above those of the low-grade media lackeys and gophers that you are citing here. Obviously, you are part of the reason why the media can get away with assigning dolts to these menial tasks. You're right off the back of that famous turnip truck and will fall for any old sort of slop at all.

"lower overall skill levels in both teammates and opponents."
A team with overall lower skill levels would not be on the cusp of breaking into WaPo's top 20. Relevant enough for you?
As for PVI, they and GMHS are "bubble" top 20 teams according to WaPo. PVI just fell out of the rankings.

If you aren't sophisticated enough to understand that comparing a tiny city to a giant county is apples-and-oranges nonsense, then you are going to finish at embarrassingly low levels in all sorts of discussions.

You don't need to compare to see the upward trends in Falls Church. Falls Church has very few days on the market, an upward trend in prices, etc.
All of that dismisses your butthurt envious statements of it being a decaying city. It is actually quite the opposite. Its commercial corridor is being revitalized with commercial property. While Vienna got a Fresh Market in a decrepit old strip center, Falls Church will get a brand new Fresh Market.
Older homes in the residential neighborhoods are being replaced with newer and better housing stock.
Contrary to your bluster, you cannot place a multistory commercial property on a residential lot. It just doesn't work that way and you are too stupid to understand it or a liar.
Simply put, you are full of shit and once again, you've had your ass handed to you on a silver platter.

The 2 square miles and 13,500 people of Falls Church City are in no way even remotely comparable to the 400 square miles and 1.13 million people of Fairfax County. It's all apples-and-oranges from the get-go. The two cannot properly be compared on any scale at all. If you knew two shits about statistics, that much would be blindingly obvious to you. But you don't know jack-squat about statistics (or much of anything else), so you babble on with your nonsense like some low-grade wind-up toy.
Nota bene: Your city is literally being left in the dust at this point. For many years, you stood still, pretending that you could hold out as an SFH and green-space family-oriented suburb while subdividing every quarter-acre lot or larger in town. Fail, fail, fail. Meanwhile, you've simply been beaten out in the TOD, high-density game by Ballston, Tysons, and now Merrifield. That's where all the buzz has gone. Now you want to try to catch up? It's too late. Unless you seize the whole place under eminent domain and sell it all off to Abu Dhabi. Maybe they could do something with it. Otherwise, you've done a nice job of painting yourselves into a corner.

Again, you embarrass yourself (or at least you would if you had any self-awareness). Many, many people are more educated and more intelligent than you. (I interact with lots of them on a daily basis.) The bigger difference, though, is that they are not so insecure.

I'm sure the thought comforts you. Meanwhile, tiny little Falls Church City is not now and never will be rationally comparable to large and sprawling Fairfax County. While apples-and-oranges is the generic term, this would be more like a case of apples-and-oil-derricks. There is simply no excuse for it.

No, not that many actually, which is why I was paid the big bucks over all those years. Then there were the books and the seminars. Lots of fun at the time, but exhausting after a while. Glad to have all that behind me now.

Insecurity is not really among my personal worries. Raccoons stealing the suet was once a worry, but it looks like I've now outsmarted them as well. I'm sure you'll find them pleasant company.

Not comparing at all. Just stating a plainly evident fact. There is buzz all around FCC, but none in it. It's become a dead zone.

So, you have no evidence to support your endless bluster. You've got jack shit to support your claims.
Here is a challenge. Post something that supports your claim that Falls Church City is decaying. Post an article, a statistic, ANYTHING that supports your claim.
Post it, or we'll all know your a lying sack of shit. Accept the challenge, you pussy.
Yeah, we get it, you lying twerp, you can't and you won't!

I've taken plenty of stat courses. Statistics was an important part of my profession. You of course don't know your flabby fucking ass from a hole in the ground about the subject, which is why you repeatedly try to cite the same old completely worthless real estate numbers as if they had some actual meaning. Stuck on totally stupid is not a good way to go through life.

Haven't you seen the population density numbers? The lagging median household income numbers? The numbers of subdivisions of already under-sized lots? Then consider that decay can come from failure to keep up with one's neighbors, not just from events of actual decline. The bloom was already off the FCC rose 40 years ago.

I've taken plenty of stat courses. Statistics was an important part of my profession. You of course don't know your flabby fucking ass from a hole in the ground about the subject, which is why you repeatedly try to cite the same old completely worthless real estate numbers as if they had some actual meaning. Stuck on totally stupid is not a good way to go through life.

Yes, developers ALWAYS invest in decaying cities while paying a premium for the commercial real estate.
In short, you ain't got shit (as usual).

Some judge you would make! Dumbass thinks apples and oil-derricks are comparable. Your tiny little dorf gets any notice at all only because some people are not able to grapple successfully with the Commonwealth's quirky legal system. There is otherwise nothing important or distinctive about Falls Church City. Brambleton would be more interesting.

If your son isn't going to attend TJ then all of this debate is just a waste of time. Go ahead and get him a job application for one of the big box stores or Nova.

TJ is for those who have high-level interest and aptitude in STEM subjects. There are many other interests and aptitudes that people may have. TJ is of little use to those folks.

Your kids can be in an AP writing class while another kid works in ESOL. Assuming that FCPS itself is properly funded, there is no reason to expect that the two would be in resource competition with each other any more than history and social studies would be.

You should learn how it works. There are certain requirements, some of which are imposed by the federal government, that ESOL needs to meet. There is no requirement to fund AP classes. Oh, and history is a component of social studies.

Still waiting for you to produce the evidence that supports your claim.

Please post like a grown-up. One class does not compete against another for funding, and the presence of one student does not diminish the opportunities available to a different student. This is not a zero-sum game where one must rob Peter in order to pay Paul. Good teachers and good students will tend to have good outcomes. It doesn't matter what other class is going on down the hall.
> Oh, and history is a component of social studies.
Like Language Arts (e.g., AP Writing), Math, or Science, Social Studies is not a class at all, but a category of classes. It includes Anthropology, Current Affairs, Economics, History, Law, Philosophy, Political Science, Psychology, Sociology, and Religion, among other things. By definition, history and social studies cannot be in resource competition with each other any more than ESOL and AP Writing are.

If I thought I was communicating with one, I would. You come across as some sort of Pollyanish infant.

There is a pot of money. Once you dig out the mandatory spending that is required by various programs such as ESOL, you are left with the rest. That leftover amount gets smaller and smaller as the mandatory spending increases.

This is an example of a fourth-grade level of understanding. The fact that an ESOL class is going on in Room 126 does not diminish the quality of the AP Writing class going on in Room 104. There are and always have been schools within schools. Physics and metal shop students have each done well in the same building for a very long time. None of this is anything new. You don't like one of the schools today because there are foreigners in it, and everyone knows that foreigners have cooties.

No, you worthless asshole. All of your pointless real estate data are comparisons of tiny little insignificant Falls Church City to great big important places such as Fairfax County. And as anyone with even a whiff of familiarity with statistics would know, such comparisons are entirely invalid. But out of simple desperation, you keep making them anyway.

No, dipshit. It's is ONLY because some sources choose to classify Virginia's independent citties as if they were counties. It is a legal anomaly. 38 of the nation's 41 independent cities are in Virginia. The others are Baltimore, St. Louis, and Carson City. Falls Church is not comparable to any of those either. It is far more comparable to places like Poquoson or Martinsville. LOL!
> Go live there. Nobody will complain (except maybe

Well, I can afford to live anywhere I want but have long ago made, upgraded, and beautified my choice. Meanwhile, up-and-coming Brambleton -- with its lower population density, newer housing stock, and higher median household income -- would indeed be a much more interesting place than the dump you so lamely defend. But I've gone well beyond both of them, thank you very much.
> Except that's not what is going on.
Yes, it is. As you refuse to understand, Falls Chuech stood on a bad hand back in the day and now has to roll some very uncertain dice in desperate hopes of getting back in the game. Likely good money after bad, but either way, any notion of Falls Church ever re-emerging as some grassy SFH-driven suburban community is now long gone. 6,200 people per square mile and climbing tells the tale on that.
> Still waiting for you to produce the evidence that

I'll ask again: What is Tinner Hill supposed to be? Mason Row? What's replacing the Burger King? What are plans for the Stratford these days? I can answer that since you won't -- it's all more Ballston-wannabe citification, but 30 years behind the times. And a good bet to be much less successful as the result. The bottom line here is that your sorry little hamlet has been outdone and hemmed in by Ballston, Tysons, and now the Mosaic District and other Dunn Loring/Merrifield development. The present for FCC is bleak, and the future looks even darker.
