[quote=Anonymous]I have kids at Langley and Cooper and we are happy with both.  I also have a kid in college and for someone who did not put 100% into his high school career, he was certainly well-prepared for college and is doing really well.

I don’t know much about McLean, but I don’t think you could go wrong with either pyramid.  We also have friends with kids at a variety of schools across FCPS and they seem happy with their pyramid.

It is true that Langley and McLean are academically competitive, meaning more students will apply to (and are good candidates for) T20 colleges, so your chances of getting into a T20 are diminished simply because everyone from your school will be vying for those few spots.  But one thing I have learned through the college application process is that I’m not too keen on paying $80k/year for school.  I am actually relieved that my older kids attend/will attend OOS flagships with merit scholarships.

I don’t know much about the drug issues except for the fact that drugs are likely at all schools.

My best advice is to find a house you like that fits within your commute, and you will be fine.[/quote]
