Herndon schools (Jefferson, Vienna: appointed, home, purchasing)

[rubyred000]

We are seriously considering purchasing a home in Herndon. It feeds into Herndon middle and high school. I don't know much about the schools outside of Vienna. I have a rising 8th grader. Any opinions good or bad would be great to hear. I've read a bunch of parent reviews and looked at test scores, it seems very mixed.

Thanks!

Curious as to why you would think responses here would be any different; and if they were, why would you trust the responses here any more than the others you have read?

I'm not trying to be snippy here, but as a first time poster, you don't know any of us. We are just as much random strangers as the other opinions you read.

I know. I don't trust any one opinion more than the other, just looking for more data.

I am very happy with my Herndon pyramid. Lots of offerings from vocational training to AP college

Here is actual data on Herndon Middle

Here is actual data on Herndon High

There are hundreds of data points on the 8 tabs for each school so you'll be very busy.

If you are trying to find a school exactly like Thomas Jefferson HS, its the only one like it and you will be sorely disappointed with any other school in the nation.

Intelligent people of any background will not understand it. They'll know what it says, but they won't understand it. How, after all, can supposedly modern people be so backward?

From firsthand experience, I understand that many languages besides english and spanish are spoken at all Northern Virginia schools.

I also understand modern humans have evolved beyond Neanderthals so as "Modern People", we are not backward.

I understand that a lot of lonely old white guys say a lot of things on forums that they would not dare say to my ethnic face.

I understand a lot of things

I guess it is not PC to state that the Asians and Blacks have a lot more beefs with the trash truck bunch than the white people ever did. I used to take roll by asking the Garcias to raise their hands, then the F!oreses, then the Hernandezes...it was quite efficient. Then I looked down at the sheet...a VC..." Phuoc."
