With its rolling hills, mature trees, and neat houses on tidy lawns, Idylwood is aptly named: it is both idyllic and wooded. But there's more to this picture-perfect neighborhood than meets the eye. Sure, it has paved bicycle trails, wide sidewalks, and beautiful parks -- but it is also strategically located. Idylwood is on the west side of Falls Church, framed by I-66 and I-495. Washington DC is directly west, roughly 12 miles away. The Metro train's Orange line takes commuters to the city in about 20 minutes, making Idylwood perfect for those who work in the city but want a quieter place to call home.

The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
