[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Langely is by far the best regular high school in Fairfax County.  TJ is a magnet school and is in a different league.  McLean or Madison are a step down.  This is not a put down-- its just the truth.  Colleges recognize the quality of Langely and think of it in the same league as any private school in the area save perhaps Epicopal, St. Albans or GTown Prep.  Look at the SAT scores-- they say it all. Challenging studies and highly motivated students make for a top notch program at Langely.[/quote]
I'm a Langley parent, but this attitude is over the top.  'Best SAT' does not equal 'Best High School'. Langley teachers are great ... but if a child is having difficulty you better believe parents seek out and pay for tutoring.  This doesn't mean Langley's program is 'better', it just means parents have more resources.  It can also mean kids have more stress. And thank goodness many top-notch colleges are forgoing SAT scores, because they really tell very little about how a student will succeed in life.
Langley and McLean are both strong schools.  'Best' in this case is the environment in which your DC can best succeed.[/quote]

We can all agree that langley students have the best cars , but thats about it[/quote]
