[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is this Mclean? There have been a bunch of byu posts on Instagram in recent days but yes, I believe all the kids are Mormon as you would expect.[/quote]

Yes - it is McLean!  I was so surprised to see all of these BYU commits.  I just didn't realize that the school was so popular for McLean.  [/quote]

There is a very active LDS ward RIGHT THERE off Great Falls and Idylwood.

Not sure how familiar Non-LDS families are with how this works, but in LDS communities you are “assigned” to a ward based on where you live (sort of how the Catholics used to assign you to the nearest parish—but the Catholics don’t really stick to that so much anymore). But with LDS there are actual boundaries and you need to live within the boundary of the ward to go there.
Similar to how families will purposely choose their home based on the school boundaries of a school they want to attend, LDS families who move to this area first identify a ward (equivalent to Protestant church) that they want to attend and then will move into that boundary area. So yes there are a lot of LDS kids at McLean bc the ward that is nearby is a highly desirable/active one for families in our area.[/quote]
