[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thanks so much everyone.  This is very helpful information.

Any feedback on the options that haven't been mentioned yet?  Am most interested in hearing from those who have (or have recently had) students at these schools.  How have you found the social environment?

rich kids. Also, discriminated against in U. Va. admissions.[/quote]

Op, I was in your shoes 2 years ago and we ended up at Oakton. I wouldn't say it is a rich kids culture, more like middle class, which I like. Academically, it is very close to Madison, some indicators are much better(number of national merit finalists, SAT acres, college admission). It is an old school, but reconstruction will start in a year, so I think we are going to stick here for the younger kid too. If I had a choice, I would probably go to Langley, but unfortunately, we couldn't affort anything there. If your child is smart, he will do well here. A lot of resources for kids who wants to succeed. School is very into sports, my kid never did sports before HS, and now in a varsity team and competes on national level.[/quote]
