[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yep, if you have the money, why send a kid to McLean if you can buy in the Langley district or afford Potomac, Gonzaga, or some other private that doesn’t cram kids into trailers with 30 kids? FCPS only cares about the extremes - TJ or Title 1. No one else matters. [/quote] We live in the Mclean HS area and could easily afford private school but have chosen public instead. Why? Because 1) I went to private from K to 12 and I don’t think I was better prepared for college compared to students from public school. 2) I value diversity and don’t like the idea of sending my kids to a school where many kids are entitled and sheltered from reality.[/quote]
