If anything, I think in Fairfax the "top 5 HS clusters" is what most here seem to aspire to and is probably our equivalent of JKLM.  I would personally argue that it all comes down to SES when you're comparing HS's, as almost all the HS's in Fairfax are nationally ranked.  As far as elementary schools go, there aren't many that people would just outright avoid and as someone already pointed out, there are 137? of them (the number keeps fluctuating since they closed one last year, but they are opening another one or two next year).[/quote]

I agree with this.  I think that, in the suburbs, the "JKLM"-type talk is mostly at the high school level.  In Mongtomery County, it's the "three Ws" - Whitman, Wootton and Winston Churchill.  In Fairfax, some claim they'd only send their kids to one of five schools - Langley, McLean, Woodson, Madison or Oakton - other than TJHSST.   But the reality is that there are plenty of other schools in the suburbs that are equally good, so the idea of a "JKLM equivalent" doesn't make much sense.      [/quote]
