## Verdict
If you decide immersion is a soft preference rather than a requirement, FCCPS is the cleanest small-district play in NoVa. If immersion stays first-order, this zone fails the priority test.

Pros: Top-ranked small district in Virginia; $1.0M is at or above median — budget actually shops the upper half; East Falls Church Metro for Hana.
Cons: No DLI — structurally fails your top-stated priority; Highest property tax of any zone considered (1.30% nominal); Small district means less programming variety.
