[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]McLean High School is only a 7 and Langley is ranked a 9. Yes, your child will attend school with some very wealthy assh0les but he or she can just ignore them. A 7 is no big whoop despite all the determined idiots chanting otherwise.[/quote]

A 7 is no big whoop either way.  Not a warning sign, and not an indication that it's the bestest thing ever either.

Hypothetically if I were looking and found two houses comparable in every way (age, state of repair, commute, sidewalks, yard size, etc.) I would not pay significantly more to be zoned for Langley vs. McLean.  If I'm concerned about rich snobs I'm not looking in either area.  Some Mclean parents pat themselves on the back like they're  soooo different, so in touch, so down to earth vs. Langley because they tolerate a FARMs rate around 10%. Puh-leeze.[/quote]

It's 4-5X the FARMS rate at Langley and similar to the FARMS rates at Madison, Oakton, Woodson, Robinson, and Yorktown.  It's not as much of a bubble and for many that is a good thing. [/quote]

It would be even better to go to a school 4-5x the FARMs rate of Mclean. 
Don't pull a ligament patting yourself on the back. [/quote]

Doesn't change the fact that McLean is significantly more diverse than Langley.  You can go back to your GS scores now. [/quote]
