[quote=Anonymous]OP_not sure if you are even checking this anymore but your assumption is correct.  I am a Whitman alum who grew up in Bethesda but later went to a private so I had tons of friends in Potomac, DC, etc.  McLean equals WHitman.  Langley equals Churchill.  Test scores and all that garbage are indicators but the social scene at Langley and McLean is like Churchill and Whitman.  Whitman had a few more smaller homes and overall smaller lots and some townhouses in its district --like McLean--because it has has older areas.  Also both are closer to DC so having a small house doesn't mean a cheap house.  And Mclean is more like a real place ilke Bethesda whereas Great Falls is like Potomac Village--small and not a lot there.   Like Churchill, Langley's district is an area that used to have a lot more large acreage properties but has had a lot of new houses fill in.  This is kind of like Potomac where there are still lots of Big houses on large lots because older horse farm-type places have been subdivided.  The newer homes still have big lots relative to closer in suburbs but are also a longer commute to DC.

In both places a good chunk of people send their kids to privates.  That is more about each child's individual need and the parents' beliefs/biases about schools.  [/quote]
