[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wow! We're interested in McLean, Langley or Yorktown and they all sound awful! I'd like my child to have a balanced and positive HS experience and it honestly sounds like you can't do that anywhere. What's going on in these areas?[/quote] We had kids at McLean and were very happy there. I'm not sure there are big differences between McLean and the other two schools, but McLean isn't as uniformly affluent as Langley and it doesn't lose as many of its top students as Yorktown (the students transferring out of McLean for IB at Marshall are partially offset by students transferring to McLean for AP). If you want a school in Fairfax that's more like W-L, look at Marshall or South Lakes. Unlike W-L, however, those schools only have IB, not AP. Personally, I'd think that your kid can have a "balanced and positive HS experience" at any of these schools, but you have to get past the snark on these forums. [/quote]
