Thank you very much for this. If this poster is still around, do you have any recommendations for areas/schools that don’t feed into McLean HS? I don’t think our children would fit in there very well because of our income. My impression is that it’s a very wealthy school.


All this apartments are zoned for McLean, so their peers would be there. FWIW, my kids are zoned for Langley are we are feds (i.e, not rich, and living in a 1300 sq ft home), and it was fine. My kids had friends and got a great education. My youngest (now in middle school) has a 504 and the schools have been terrific with him.


Thank you for your experience. However, we have half your income, I suspect. $180k total right now and may drop down to $90 in the future if one partner cannot work due to disability. We want to go ahead and start living on $90k if we can to save money and so that declining health doesn’t present an emergency for the kids.


You will be fine at McLean. Sorry to hear about the disability.

There are a lot of apartments that feed into McLean HS. That’s how PP found those two so quickly.

Maybe you’re confusing McLean with Langley. Langley doesn’t have apartments.

Where do you work? Where are you coming from? FCPS is big, we need a starting point.

Look for rentals zoned for Marshall. We too did not want our kids going to McLean for the same reason.

FCPS treats kids with IEPs terribly.

I know good schools is subjective. My child has an IEP and I need a school that will treat her well and ideally will also challenge her academically. Where could we rent for that budget?
