[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]McLean has about a dozen schools as does Vienna.  Which ones are you talking about?  The only school named "Mclean" is McLean High School.  And the only school named "Vienna" is Vienna Elementary school, so I assume you are not comparing those two.[/quote]

Actually there is another McLean school - The McLean School in Potomac.  We sent DS there during middle years.  It was excellent.

I don't like Vienna because of the traffic down Maple.  Also, I don't like the clutter of old shopping malls running the entire length of Maple.  The area is too congested and it is difficult to get anywhere quickly.

I don't think the high schools in Vienna compare with McLean High or Langley High, but could be wrong.  I live over here for 20 years  and have never heard anything stellar about the Vienna Schools.[/quote]

lol, yeah the schools in Vienna suck.   :roll:

look, McLean is more desirable.  That should not be surprising, since it is one of the most expensive areas in the world.   The schools are incredible.  Vienna is a step below.  But most everywhere would be next to McLean.  For the amount I spent (say $950K), I prefer what I have in Vienna to what I could have afforded in McLean.  Bigger lot, but still very close to Tysons and Reston and a barely do-able commute to DC if that was ever required.  And Madison and Oakton HS are still top 100 public schools in the country (I think, right?) with a little less of the wealth factor that I find offputting.[/quote]
