[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is anyone else tired of these threads trying to pick out the best Mclean Elementary? There are no differences with any of these schools.[/quote]

Of course there are differences, they are not clones of each other.  Each has its own flavor or personality.  [/quote]

OP here. We are relatively new to the DC area. It's so hard to research the qualitative of the schools. The people we know in Mclean either send their kids to private school or have kids in preschool.

We want to raise down to earth children. Prefer a school that is not too competitive in elementary school. At the same time, would like both kids challenged. Do not want to general ed child to feel bad about not being in AAP while attending the same school as sibling. I like new houses and DH needs to be able to get to DC via Chain Bridge Rd.[/quote]

Then definitely pick Spring Hill or Churchill ES.  I'd suggest Haycock but it is way too overcrowded.  Can't recommend Chesterbrook because of the uppity parents there.  Very elitist liberal types - many of whom when to Ivies and push their kids too hard up into MHS.  Not a fan [/quote]

That was not our experience at all.  SPring Hill would be much further from Chain bridge and add 10-20 minutes to your DH's commute.  [/quote]
