[quote=Anonymous]OP here, thanks all, espeically for house search neighborhood tips.  Like I said we're new to all this, other than what we've been reading on-line and a quick visit to Jefferson.  We probably will get on with it there for SY 2015-2016.

Yes, we're Asian-American, Chinese, and nearly native speakers.  We attended not-so-great small town NY public schools, and elite colleges.  We've read that Fairfax elementary schools are getting crowded, with the kid bulge heading to MS around the time our younger child would go.  We also read that Arlington Co. schools are on the up and up, and like the later HS start times.

PP, why do you think that we'd be dissapointed in Washington Lee's IB program?  Not enough Asian families or high achievers?  We're used to all that, in the District.  My kid's school is 1% Asian (and feeds into a MS that is 0% white and Asian).  We don't mind - we spend Sundays in MoCo mixing with families at a fine little heritage language school. The commute to MD wouldn't work on weekdays.
