[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. Really appreciate all the inputs!  
I added Woodson and Chantilly to my list but has some concern about the size of the high school. I do see a lot trailer classrooms from map. Mclean will be a stretch for me even I am going to buy a townhome there. The housing px is crazy!  Oakton does seem to have a good balance of everything: new facility, diversity, expensive but not super crazy home px. [/quote]

OP - Oakton is best per your requirements - it has substantial Asian population and can accommodate any level of academics and clubs/extracurricular activities.  The top group of kids at Oakton is very interchangeable with the top group of kids at McLean or Langley etc...  plus the school is post-renovation and has enough students that class schedules are not limited no matter what each of your 4 children will choose for the course selections.  Langley has more limitations for scheduling.   Plus the Asian grocery stores (5+ within 2-4 miles of driving) and shopping is much better around Oakton as well as the variety of housing options.  You can't go wrong with Oakton.

+1. Never had issues with course selection at Oakton. Good diversity. Difficult to make sports teams though if that is important to you.[/quote]

Oakton and some housing options are also close to the Vienna Metro Station for trips into the city. Metro rail is often easier than driving and parking in the city.

Madison HS is also close to the Vienna Metro.

Many new excellent Asian restaurants are opening up in the vicinity, in the City of Fairfax, Vienna, etc. [/quote]
