[quote=Anonymous]We toured the privates and weren’t terribly impressed with them. We toured when our HHI was only 500k so back then, it would have taken a big hit to our lifestyle to pay for private school tuition. We now have a seven figure income and can easily afford it but decided to stick with public. We moved to Mclean for better schools. Our kids have a solid peer group and our AAP center has plenty of academic extracurricular opportunities to keep them challenged. I am all about convenience. I have no desire to drive my kids into DC or MD where the better private schools are located. My kids have play dates often with kids within 1-2 miles of our house. It is easy to carpool and get together last minute. I don’t want my kids to go to school with only rich kids. I know people think everyone in Langley pyramid is rich but they are not. There are many middle class families who prioritize education to live here.[/quote]
