[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]what about curriculum, teachers or school policies?  Thank you[/quote]

All of these schools offer Advanced Placement courses; there are other schools in Fairfax and Montgomery Counties that offer the International Baccalaureate program.

Teacher pay is slightly higher in Montgomery than in Fairfax.

Not sure what differences in school policies would stand out.  Both school districts are large public school systems run by liberal Democrats.  The FCPS School Board is up for re-election next year and there's a good chance that some members will lose their seats.  Both systems will have new superintendents next year, but the new superintendent in Montgomery has worked in MCPS for two decades and the new superintendent in Fairfax is coming from Washington State and has no prior experience with FCPS.  Both are women.

In terms of diversity from most diverse to least diverse the order is Wootton (not Wotton), Churchill, McLean, Langley, Whitman.

If you ask people to split hairs much more than this, you'll end up not wanting to live in any of these areas, as people will just start fighting.  You can find more information about individual schools by looking at the MCPS and FCPS web sites.
