[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Appearances matter.

The Langley school has a very beautiful and clean appearance fitting such an institution.

The same cannot be said for the McLean high school. [/quote]

Appearances matter to those who care a lot about appearances.  Langley people care more about appearances than anyone else in the county, so naturally they prioritize its "very beautiful and clean appearance."

We only looked at Madison and McLean, two older schools, because they have closer-knit communities. We didn't want our kids on Georgetown Pike schlepping miles and miles to either get to Langley or visit friends living out towards Herndon. We've heard good things about Oakton (and Carson), but it was too far out for us.

As between Madison and McLean from an AAP perspective, the main difference is that the Madison pyramid doesn't have an AAP middle school within the pyramid (yet), so the AAP kids who want a center go to Jackson and Kilmer, whereas Longfellow is an AAP center.  At some point they'll probably make all the middle schools, including Thoreau, into AAP centers.     [/quote]
