| I can see how the whole marshall/mclean sour grapes is similar to when it was langley/mclean. I bet in a few years the divide won't be there anymore. |
Not sure what you're talking about. The "whole marshall/mclean sour grapes" thing consists of "Crazy Marshall Lady" waging a private vendetta and getting shot down. Marshall isn't really on the radar screen for McLean parents or students, unless they live in the handful of apartments/townhouses in McLean zoned for Marshall, or are in the Marshall IB program. On the other hand, Langley and McLean are traditional rivals, like Lake Braddock and Robinson, Washington-Lee and Yorktown, or Stuart and Falls Church. Marshall's main rival is Madison, not McLean. |

| House ok but it is in Mclean. I would never live there. |

None of the stores know what to do with food stamps. You'd have to teach them. |

wow, people who can afford a home for $500K vs. almost $1 million...and the conversation turns to food stamps.
Reality has left the building... |
Love both Mclean and Pimmit, I live in Mclean and also have a rental in Pimmit. I think that maybe in about 5 years Pimmit will catch up to Mclean, at least the Mclean that borders pimmit. |
| I personally think Marshall HS is over rated. The US News report can't just keep saying that the same schools are great year after year. Once in awhile they toss a bone. |
