[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Could we expand this across Fairfax county? how do Arlington Schools rank compared to whatever would be considered the "best" in FFX?

Essentially, would like to try to figure just how average to bad Deal and Hardy are in comparison to the better and best schools in N.VA? [/quote]

I am not in Fairfax and can speak more to high schools but Langley and McLean are night and day different experiences from any DC schools. Also experience of living over there is pretty different - it might be what you are looking for, or maybe not. [/quote]

NP.  I would say TJ is the best for gifted kids.  Langley best for your above average hard working kid.[/quote]

TJ is a miserable amount of work, leaving little time for the kinds of activities that help kids develop soft skills (and make them stand out for college if you care about that). Honestly I would do SWW over TJ except for a very small subset of kids who are really only interested in academics and don't care about going to a big name college.[/quote]
