[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We're moving to the NOVA area. My SO will be at the Pentagon and doesn't want to drive an hour each way, every day. She'll probably be very unhappy if it is much more than 30 minutes each way. Our kids are bright, but not all of them are hard workers. They have moved a lot. I'm not sure the massive high schools are the best fit. Any recommendations for smaller high schools where the environment is not too stressful, yet still challenging enough to get into a decent university? One kid in particular gets anxious when the work piles on, despite usually making all As.  It's also important that it's a school where the [b]average hard working athlete can make the basketball and baseball team[/b]s? Does this place exist? [b]Budget is about 3000/month for rent,[/b] give or take.[/quote]

For 3k/month rent, you can rent a home in either Mclean or Langley district and send your kids to either Langley or Mclean HS.  The environment is only as stressful as you want it to be.  Most kids from Langley and Mclean (I am a Langley alum) end up from excellence to decent universities.  Langley/Mclean is less than 30 minutes from the Pentagon if you use GW parkway.

If your kids are average hard working athletes, they will make the varsity in both basketball and baseball team at either of these schools because the basketball and baseball teams are just outright BAD.  Mclean boys was winless last year in boys basketball and Langley didn't much better either.  The baseball team in both of these schools are below average.

If you kids want to join crew, tennis or soccer team at these schools, that's different story.  They are so competitive because people in the mclean/langley have resources to send their kids to tennis soccer training outside of what the schools provide.[/quote]
