What are Whitman and Sandburg Middle Schools in Fairfax County, Virginia like?

Question

I am a teacher moving to Fairfax County, VA and have been offered a job by these two schools. I am not interested in teaching somewhere with horribly disrespectful kids in a dangerous environment. I have done that before and do not want to return. Any real information would be so helpful. I have already read their profiles online but facts and figures don't interest me. I want the truth! Please help!
