[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We live in Chevy Chase and are thinking of moving to McLean. Could somebody please tell me in what ways McLean and Langley differ from each other in terms of students' attitude, academic strength, etc?

My superficial research so far says that Langley is more like Churchill in Potomac (all wealthy students with a sense of entitlement), whereas McLean is more like Whitman in Bethesda (more down-to-earth, more focused on academics, less focused on showing off wealth). Please correct me if I am wrong.

Also, for those in the Langley district west of the beltway (i.e. Spring Hill Elementary), how long does it take for the students to be bussed to high school? Does it complicate your life very much that the high school is so far away?

Thanks in advance.[/quote]

I don't think your stereotrypes of the Bethesda schools are accurate but I would compare Langley to Whitman (both are top scoring non magnet schools in their county, both draw from a high SES area) and McLean to B-CC (a little bit more diversity but still strong academics).  We are at one of those 4 and have friends with kids at the other 3 and all like the schools, hard to go wrong at any of them.[/quote]
