[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Any Little Flower/Mercy families able to share their perspectives? Would love to know if there are any McLean/Virginia families [/quote]

Little Flower is old money. Families come from outside the immediate geographic area, think Potomac, because it’s their family parish. So there will be plenty of families driving in, but not too many from McLean. You could probably do it most days, but might hate your life if you’re thinking this is a school for 10 years. Lots of families with generations of membership at Congressional or Chevy. Their kids start with friends in the class from the club. So you might feel left out.

I disagree with nearly all of this.  There are more younger new professionals than "old money" by far.  Most families live very close geographically to the school.  Families that consider it their "family parish" do so because they still live in the area.  And more families are Kenwood than the other two clubs combined, and a fair number are not country club people at all.  I don't find the parents pretentious.  They're certainly less community-minded than in years past, but I get that sense from every school post-pandemic.[/quote]
