[quote=Anonymous]We need some insights about high school district choice.  which HS (Oakton, Madison, Mclean or other schools) we should choose?

We are an Asian family and moving from a southern state(like GA and NC). We finally decided to move to DC area to seek better public school and a bigger metro area because we can mostly work from home(just need to travel to the office once a quarter or something like that). We used to live in the NYC suburb for about 4 years but never wanted to go back to NYC area again. We have 4 kids: one 8th grader, one 5th grader and the other two still in preschool and kindergarten. Our family combined income is around $420k and it is likely this is what we can make for next few years. I work in the accounting consulting area and my wife works for a bank.

My 8th grader son will pursue the STEM especially the computer science related. He is not very social and needs some time to ramp up in the new school so we hope there are a diversified group he can easily fit in. He does swimming and tennis for sports. I am not too worried for my other three kids since they are very social and can very easily make new friends.

We excluded Langley since we don't feel comfortable putting my kids in such a wealthy area. We are just average professionals earning wages.  We still consider Mclean since we feel like the diversity seems better. I also heard  Oakton is a wealthy district too but not sure what "Wealthy" means? We probably just want to spend 850-900K on the future house(we will rent for the first year).
