[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you want to know about terms that some people actually use, there are just the “W schools” in MCPS (Whitman, Churchill, Wootton, and Walter Johnson - w/B-CC sometimes included) and the “[b]Big 5” in FCPS[/b] (Langley, McLean, Madison, Woodson, and Oakton).

Not everyone agrees these are the best schools in those districts or worthy of being separately mentioned, but those are the only terms used with any frequency.  And, yes, there’s a high correlation with family wealth.

Otherwise you’re just asking for people to engage in a brand-new pissing contest.  [/quote]
The only real one is the Ws in MoCo.
There is no such thing as the "big 3" in private and definitely not "Big 5" in FCPS. That's the newest copycat one. LOL[/quote]

This thread is bad and t[b]here is no Big 3 or 5 publics[/b]. By supposed best high schools, it is probably Whitman, Churchill and Langley. Labgley and McLean are almost the same.[/quote]
Right. There is no Big 3 or 5 publics but there is the Ws, which is the original and only one.[/quote]
