West Springfield/Springfield area schools
Hi,
there is a very good chance we will be moving to the area of Springfield soon. I am very interested in the schools, especially elementary and middle schools. Any recommendations which schools have a good reputation in the Springfield area (area code 22152 seems to be very interesting to us for house buying). Even recommendation what areas to avoid would be a great help. I would appreciate your replies very much, as we are trying to determine if we should go there.
Thanks,
Marion

22152 is West Springfield so you are looking at a good area in terms of community safety, amenities and schools. West Springfield HS is well regarded. I believe Irving MS feeds into it. If you are looking into a home under Irving MS and West Springfield HS, you are looking at the most desirable parts of Springfield.

Orange Hunt Elementary in West Springfield has a German immersion program. There's also Hunt Valley, Rolling Valley and a few other elementary schools in West Springfield that feed into Irving Middle School. Check the Fairfax County Public Schools website for specific information on schools.

Go to FCPS Home Page Redirect Page and click on "Schools and Centers," then near the bottom find "by Pyramid" and click on West Springfield. That will lead you to the listing of web sites for all the schools that feed into West Springfield High School. |

We just moved to West Springfield in July and we have two school-aged children (elementary) so schools/neighborhoods and commute were of primary focus for us. We ended up buying in 22152 and our children attend Rolling Valley Elementary and we are very, very pleased. The facility is wonderful, teachers are top-notch, ratios are low, and curriculum is challenging. We also looked very closely in the areas of Cardinal Forest and West Springfield Elementary. Any of those and you can't go wrong in my opinion. I love Springfield!
Good luck in your decision!
