[quote=Anonymous]I'd probably rule out the areas that would be a sucky commute first.  That narrows things a bit.  Then rule out the schools that are very low-ranked, since you have the budget to afford very good schools.  That narrows things down.  Once you get it down to 2-3 high schools, you can look at neighborhoods, post in this forum and read statistics and do some googling.  Langley, McLean and Yorktown are all great schools, as is Woodson.  In Fairfax you have the AAP issue, and a better shot at TJ HS, if that matters.  But Yorktown is closer in for a DC commute.  (City of Falls Church would be worth considering too.)

14:27 is correct - some schools are split feeders.  So you might get some kids at Swanson going on to Washington-Lee and some to Yorktown.  (Both very good.)  And with the new middle school coming online at some point, that will shift things.  Far Northeast Arlington, though, could end up at W-L vs. Yorktown, since Yorktown is further West than W-L.  Far Northwest Arlington is likely to stick with Wburg/YK unless they do a comprehensive 4th high school at the Virginia Health property and draw boundaries vertically.[/quote]
