FC is over 23% school age, but does not break down by area. [/quote]

There are lots of hurdles to overcome for Mclean to leave FCPS- the law has to allow it- being the starter. Keep in mind we are on a VA public school forum. Lets say 23% of the New McLean city has school age kids- even though all won't go to public school. I would think most of that percentage would be willing to pay the substantive start up costs of a new city- However, I don't think you are going to get enough others to go on board. McLean HS is already highly ranked compared to its peers in the area. In theory the New HS will educate the students better- but is it worth it to triple my taxes to go from the 2nd or 3rd best FCPS school to the 2nd or 3rd best FCPS HS. The cost benefit analysis for the community at large - already located in prime real estate - does not seem to add up- for those who would not read this forum. [/quote]
