[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you haven't already bought in the suburbs, don't do it. You'll be miserable unless you live in a place like parts of Arlington and Alexandria.

If you move to a place like Reston or McLean, you will be miserable OP. [/quote]

But what about the public schools being way better in a place like McLean? Unfortunately it just seems like the more city-like areas (or DC proper) gave bad public schools.[/quote]

No. Close-in Arlington or Bethesda have excellent schools and walkable (to coffee) neighborhoods.

Sorry I don’t know anything about Reston schools, just heard that McLean schools are good.

What public schools in Arlington are good!?[/quote]

What? most schools in Arlington are quite good. Just because arlington has more socioeconomic diversity in some places making test scores more variable does not mean it also doesn’t provide a great education like McLean and MANY other schools in this area. The idea that McLean is one for the only areas with “good” schools is incredibly inaccurate. It depends on what you’re looking for. None of these schools systems are perfect. There are pros and cons for everyone, I don’t prefer my kids to be in the pressure cooker like McLean personally, for example but I completely see how some of the other pros outweigh that for others. There are lots of other Fairfax schools that are great too. Anyway op I feel like the school stuff on here gets really nuts. Most people I actually know in person in both Fairfax and Arlington are happy with the schools generally. [/quote]
