[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Fairfax county high schools are all diverse,

Every single one

People just like to complain [/quote]

I used to live in Alexandria and now live in McLean. Both schools are incredibly diverse, just in different ways. Our school in Alexandria had a large Spanish speaking population and our McLean school has more Asians and Middle Eastern students.[/quote]

Langley has next to no economic diversity. Chantilly does, as does every other high school in FCPS besides Langley. [/quote]

OP, look at the college acceptances from Langley.  Colleges tend to think "the rich white folk" will do well in life, no mater what, "no need to take m/any of them!"

Chantilly gets my vote. [/quote]

THIS. THIS.THIS.  It’s especially hard if you’re not super wealthy because colleges assume you have lots of money and connections.  A lot of people in McLean are living completely boring - and not at all luxurious lives - to pay the mortgage on an out of date little house. But for college, they are compared against the kids who spend $25,000 on private athletic coaching, $6,000 on test prep, and four years of private tutors because they share the same zip code.
