That is if he’s a NB guy.

Also, Loudoun County (west of IAD) was rated the #2 public school district in the state of VA for 2019 according to Niche.com. I’m not sure how credible they are, but good schools nonetheless.

looking for adviice/ opinions.....saw online that an area named Ashburn next to IAD looks like a descent area. The online school ratings sites say good schools. however does anyone have any first hand knowledge/ kids currently in those schools? looking to get a real opinion of any issues or good or bad points that dont get reported on thoses websites?

I recently moved to Ashburn. As far as I’m concerned, the school’s are FANTASTIC! Small class size along with track schedules. Late start 9am get out at 4pm. So much is offered for extra-curricular and very college focused. So that’s my HS experience. I can’t speak for middle school or elementary but those schools look really good too.
The train system is being having it’s furthest west station built in Brambleton which will get you to DC. It’s a slow build but it’s getting there. It’s really nice in Ashburn. Good luck.

Thanks pksocal, that’s the type of first hand info was looking for. Got elementary and middle schoolers now, so looking for area that will stay good thru their high school. dont want to move again. that also has short drive to dulles. thanks for the feedback.

Ashburn is a great area. Just starting to go up in price though. Leesburg which is up the road about 10 minutes is also a good place to look and home prices may be a little less. It’s growing rapidly. It’s close to DC and like 35- 40 minutes from like Harpers Ferry, nature type stuff, wineries of Loudon County etc. Once the silver line extension is complete you’ll be able to take the train all the way to DC. It’s like 10 years over schedule right now...
