[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So, you’re basically asking which highly-ranked UMC HS is best? These are DCUM’s public darlings, if you’re rich and your kid’s smart, either will be fine. McLean has a better band, [b]Langley has higher HHIs[/b]. [/quote]

Where do you see this data?  I would assume the opposite is true. Langley pulls from a large area that includes homes that border sterling and most of the truly wealthy in that area send their kids to private rather than public. [/quote]

DP.  Average single-family house zoned to Langley costs about $200K more than one zoned to McLean, plus McLean has a bunch of less expensive townhouses and apartments.  Langley has no apartments and very few townhouses.

Langley appeals more to people who want to be surrounded by other rich people.  All the other high schools in FCPS, including McLean, have at least some economic diversity.  [/quote]

OMG.  The chip on your shoulder is a mile wide.  Are you the same poster who is absolutely *obsessed* with HHI at Langley?  You need a hobby.  [/quote]

Dp here. I have no chip. [b]I actually wanted to buy on the mclean high side so my kids would not be going to school with all rich kids.[/b] Turns out kids are pretty normal but the houses are definitely more expensive on the Langley side.

People are always saying how Langley has no economic diversity.[/quote]

Sounds like a chip to me.  No one at Langley thinks about or discusses the relative wealth of their classmates.  However, it does seem to be a point of obsession for those who don’t go there/have kids there.  [/quote]
