[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here, Langley and McLean school zones you recommended are outside of the budget.[/quote]
There might not be any stock available now, but there are routinely townhomes zoned for Haycock/Longfellow and McLean in the $1.1 to $1.2 range.  There are fewer townhouses zoned for Cooper-Langley (arguably the best public school pyramid in the DMV), but there are some, usually in the $1.2 to $1.4 range.  Both of those school pyramids are better than any pyramid in Arlington, but Arlington schools are still solid (and a fair bit better than the schools in your original post).[/quote]

No one thinks of Langley as the best public school pyramid in the DMV.  It's as expensive as Walt Whitman in Montgomery, but Whitman is hands-down stronger academically.  And in NoVa McLean is apparently stronger than Langley, even though not as wealthy.

The Arlington high schools aren't as highly rated, but they are still well regarded and more relaxed.  [/quote]
U.S. News rating are imperfect, as are any ratings that attempt to compare results across states using state-specific tests. Some schools (and some states) are more strict about the students they will graduate, and who they count in (or exclude from) their scores. All three of the above schools are excellent schools with student SAT averages regularly in the 1290 to 1320 range.  [/quote]
