+1.

I graduated from Mclean HS in the 90's.  I now have a son @Langley HS and a daughter @Potomac.  My observations as a Mclean residence:

- the percentage of Asians at both Langley and Mclean HS would have been higher had they decided not to attend TJ from the cooper and Longfellow MS,
- Some students at private schools can't handle the aspect of public schools but the vast majority of parents @Madeira and Potomac want smaller class size for their children, 27+ kids per class  at public school versus less than 10 at these private schools.  Better individual attentions for sure
- I would say about 70% of the parents of the kids at the above private schools are very successful and Ivy League graduated.  You're talking about CEO, CIO, CFO, entrepreneurs, startup founders, etc...  That's one of the reasons I send my daughter there, to be inspired.  Is it doable at Langley HS?  The answer is yes but it is harder.  Private schools like Madeira and Potomac function as catalyst to get you from point A to point B in less time due to the massive connections to powerful people at those schools

At the end of the day, both Langley and Mclean HS are great schools.  Kids at both schools are very nice and friendly, you will always have exception of course.  Based on what I have seen on my 17 years of living in Langley, everyone is friendly and welcome you with open arms.[/quote]
