[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hello,
We are looking to buy a house close to Tysons. I would like my kids to attend a school with a large percentage of Arab kids (we are from Lebanon).

What elementary schools should we look at? My husband will be working in  Mclean so we would like to stay close to that area.

Thanks![/quote]

Seconded. We are Asian and our kids attend Spring Hill. I was thumbing through their yearbooks and see a lot of middle eastern looking faces. I am not familiar with middle eastern names so I can't tell if they are Arabic or not, but it was like a lot. I also thought it was cute that many of them not only specified being doctors for what they want to grow up to be, but most specified a specialization.

Anyway, Fairfax County Public Schools tracks the very thing you are after, OP. Here they provide maps of elementary school kids based on their language spoken at home and where they live:

Looking at the maps now, it seems maybe the middle eastern kids I noticed are mostly Iranian perhaps? Makes sense, I have a very close Iranian friend who lived in this area when his kids were going through the schools.
