[quote=Anonymous]I am reseaching schools and preschools options in the McLean, Vienna area. My husband has been offered a position with Capital One and we would like to live very close to his work..We will be moving from the West Coast, from Portland OR.

After looking at schools in the area, I looked at the sex offender listings, and was shocked to see so many people listed in the McLean/Vienna areas. Here in Portland there is only one person listed in a 3 mile radius of us. We live in the suburbs, but still pretty close to Downtown Portland.

I have never visited the MClean/Vienna area, so am unaware of what it is like. We are planning a visit soon, but I have a lot of concerns regarding the safety of myself and my two elementary school aged children, with so many sex offenders around.

My question is: are parks pretty safe for kids? Or do you have a keep a close eye on your children at all times?
Are the neighborhood elementary schools considered safe?
Is it safe to go for a jog by yourself in the mornings/late nights?

Thanks for your input.
