[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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]

Fairfax Station and Clifton are nowhere near McLean.  They are out by Centreville[/quote]

Understood - the point was that Clifton, Fairfax Station, and the areas in McLean and Great Falls zoned for Langley have been among the most Republican areas of Fairfax County. [/quote]

Np.  It was poorly written, if that’s the case.[/quote]

I understood the pp just fine and I haven't even had my coffee yet.  [/quote]
