[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We’ve lived in Vienna for 8 years, and love it. There are older families who have lived here for decades and newer younger families who’ve moved in recently. There are feds, business owners, teachers, doctors, and all kinds of professionals. Some of our neighbors and friends own businesses in town so we feel very connected to the community. Vienna has a small town vibe, this may be a problem for some but not us. There are so many things to do that are walkable from our house. There are the Rec Center, Waters/Caffee Fields, Farmer’s Market, Vive Vienna, Chillin on Church, Halloween Parade, Jammin Java, and so many great restaurants. The town is upgrading the sidewalks to make it even more walkable.

We don’t care what others think, so we never felt the need to join any social circles we didn’t like. Our DD attended VES and Thoreau. The parents at VES were very engaged which we loved. We didn’t volunteer for everything and never felt any pressure to do so.

My sister lives in McLean and my nieces attends Langley HS. McLean/Langley are definitely more competitive athletically and academically.

The neighbor to our left supports Trump, the one to our right supports Harris. We’re all cordial and the neighbor to the left clears the snow for all us with his 
snowblower. [/quote]

McLean and Langley are not as competitive athletically as Madison.  Madison has a history of actively recruiting kids for sports and the culture of Vienna is decidedly more sports-oriented.

Langley, McLean, and Oakton are all a bit more academically intense than Madison, as measured by the number of AP classes taken by the average student and the number of National Merit Semifinalists. [/quote]
