Keep the school board money in our public schools instead of wasting it on this academy. Ridiculous.
NOT AT THE GRAHAM ROAD SITE. The traffic is already bad enough during drop off and pickup.
Seems like they are just copying what we already have. Why bother?
My kids go to Falls Church and we love the teachers there. Stop trying to reinvent the wheel.
No leave our school alone.

FCHS is doing just fine with the AVID program. We dont need another school splitting up our resources.
