[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Some of the parents of older elementary school students at Crossfield think of Oakton as an elite school. That's why. [/quote]

It's ranked near the top in VA, so yes within VA it would be relatively speaking even though a number are ranked higher.[/quote]

Isn't Oakton just a normsl average sports school along with many of the larger fcps high schools? I have never heard of anyone refer to Oakton as an unusually prominent sports powerhouse, just a solid sports program like most of the bigger fcps high schools.[/quote]

Academically it's near the top. 6th in va and 9th in DC metro. Can't speak for sports as my kids aren't in hs.[/quote]

Ridiculous rank; I checked USNWR and Oakton is absurdly ranked higher than McLean, even though McLean has a 97% graduation rank while Oakton’s is only. 95%.[/quote]

A more objective rank is average SAT score, and McLean’s score is currently and historically higher than Oakton’s average SAT score.

Point is:  any ranking which places Oakton over McLean is obviously invalid.

[b]Plus, McLean is majority-minority (over 50% BIPOCs), so McLean win on diversity too.[/b][/quote]
Go take another gander at the demographic pages for both schools. Oakton actually had McLean beat. [/quote]
