[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Langley is 65% white, less than 2% low-income, and the kids mostly live in McLean and Great Falls. McLean is 55% white, about 10% low-income, and the kids live in McLean, Falls Church, and Vienna. Both schools are over 20% Asian.

The dominant culture at both schools consists of hard-working, ambitious kids taking lots of AP classes and preparing for college, but Langley is a bit more “Type A.” The precincts that are zoned for Langley mostly vote Republican, like Clifton and Fairfax Station, whereas the precincts zoned for McLean tend to vote Democratic, like nearby Arlington and Falls Church City.

Langley used to have more students, but the enrollment at McLean has been larger for the last few years. Langley still beats McLean at most sports, except for gymnastics, tennis, and the occasional basketball game. [/quote]

Both stink at football.  [/quote]

The houses within two miles from Langley HS are much bigger than those around Mclean HS.  Langley HS will be done with renovation this year so it looks very modern.  You will see more Lexus, Benz and Porsche at Langley HS than you will at Mclean HS just simply people live around Langley HS are much wealthier than folks around Mclean HS.  Mclean HS takes kids from Falls Church, Vienna areas so those areas are not as wealthier than Mclean itself.   The UCM in great falls and Mclean will send kids to Langley HS.  The wealthy people in Great Falls and Mclean send their kids to Potomac and Madeira Private schools.  Langley HS seems to have more issues with drugs than Mclean HS.

Both schools suck in Football because lack of AA players on the team would be my guess.  Mclean 0-10, Langley 2-8.
