[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We have friends with kids there who are quite happy.  As elementary schools go in FCPS, it’s mid-size. The academics are strong (most of the kids who qualify to attend the Haycock AAP center stay at Chesterbrook instead). There is a bit of exposure to Chinese as well - nothing like immersion, but enough to prime kids who want to take Chinese I at Longfellow.  [b]There isn’t much economic diversity; unlike some of the other McLean elementary schools, it draws entirely from neighborhoods of single-family homes.[/b] But it feeds into Longfellow MS and McLean HS, which are more diverse than the schools in the other McLean pyramid (Cooper/Langley).[/quote]

Are you sure about this?  There are a small cluster of town homes on Kirby Road just before the intersection of Kirby Road and Westmoreland Street.  Those town homes are about 0.5 mile from Chesterbrook ES.  Which ES do the kids in those town homes attend, if not Chesterbrook ES?  Haycock or Kent Gardens?

Once you pass the intersection of Kirby and Old Dominion going toward Dolley Madison, it is the "richer" part of Mclean,  mostly bigger and newer homes on a bigger lot.  Most folks there send their kids to private schools such as Madeira, Little Langley, Sidwell or Potomac.  I am one of those guilty one  :D [/quote]
