[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, in full admission, I did NOT read every post on here.  I also live in FFX, and, have a kid in UVa. 2 hours each way, no ifs ands or buts.  If you pick MD, you need to add a lot more time. 20 minutes?  Not even if you own your own helicopter.  Lots of different opinions on here, spanning education, commuting, diversity, etc.  Each becomes a white-hot button.
The four schools in FFX: McLean, Langley, Madison and Marshall are all very good, and will do a great job preparing your kids for higher education.  I kinda think the IB program is overstated, but, there ya go!  [/quote]

Thanks for this - in my defense, Google said, Cville to FFX was like 2hrs, Cville to Rockville was 2hrs 20 mins. But after some things I read about Montgomery county (incidents of sexual assault, etc.) and housing costs, I think our family is going to look at FFX, Falls Church city, and maybe Arlington. When you look for diversity (race, nationality, religion, etc.) together with the socio-economic diversity, it would be ideal if we could avoid extreme wealth or poverty, but this is difficult...and what is a white-hot button?[/quote]
