What is not so good about Potomac? Potomac is probably the wealthiest school, even more so than St. Albans, NCS and Sidwell. Potomac probably has more Ivy League graduated parents than those above schools. Didn't you see the new athletic and academic center at Potomac? No other school has this kind of money to throw around.

I am sorry, I cant find data online but I heard from a parent whose 3 kids went to Langley.
Most people who live in Langley/Mclean and their kids go to HYPS do not attend public schools. Most of them send their kids to Potomac, St. Albans, Sidwell, NCS, Holton, etc...
Middle class families in Langley send their kids to Langley HS.
I agree but I am wondering if those middle class students get to go to HYPS. There is very less data out there for Langley or Mclean but I do hear that Langley is tough academic wise. Not as much as TJ though which is a STEM school.
Yes, kids from Langley do go to HYPS but the number is lower than kids from Sidwell, St. Albans or Potomac. Not because kids at Sidwell, St. Albans or Potomac are any smarter, it has to do with "legacy". There are so many parents at Potomac and St. Albans that graduated from HYPS, at least 50%.
What you heard is true. Langley HS and Mclean HS are ranked 2nd and 3rd, respectively behind TJ in the state of Virginia. Some years, Mclean ranks 2nd and some years Langley HS ranks 2nd. The asians and Indian students at both of these schools are high achievers. I call them TJ "rejects", LOL... Many of them could have gone to TJ but decided not to.
I like both Langley and Mclean HS. What I don't like about Mclean HS is overcrowding issue.
TJ is a great school but I think not all good kids want to go to TJ. Not all high achievers in Langley/Mclean are TJ rejects -They just chose to stay at base school.
Some of the group you mentioned have literally decided against TJ because they felt they would not fit in, and they are right. TJ is missing out on some good students. But then, I do know that I would not want to be applying to colleges from any of those high schools, because it is not as if the top colleges are accepting that many applicants from each top high school. Honestly, you would much, much be better off coming from a poor neighborhood high school than rich. Ask me how I know.
It’s not rich versus poor. An academically inferior high school experience will only hurt your student in college and beyond.
College is not the end game. Short-sighed thinking.

Ned to specify if you want to seee data for admission or enrollment. I have No kid at TJ..... But people like to put down TJ/Langley/ or any other elite high school because they don’t see more kids to HYPS. Most data shared is where the kids end up; and less about where they apply or where they didn’t apply becauase they knew they’d be full pay and the cost wasn’t worth it or affordable.

Do you realize how big Langley and McLean are compared to those schools? Combined, they have about 5000 students.
Potomac upper schoo has about 500
St. Albans has 600 total
Sidwell Upper School has 500
and so forth. Most families in McLean send their students to the public schools.
Did you even read what I said? This is what I said: b]Most people who live in Langley/Mclean and their kids go to HYPS do not attend public schools.[/b]
If you live in Waverly or Mackall Farms neighborhood, your kids will likely go to private schools like Sidwell, St. Albans or Potomac. If you live in Ridge Road neighborhood, your kids will likely attend Langley HS.
It is not as obvious as you would think, though a ton of Langley Forest kids go private. It is not the only neighborhood with mostly private kids, however.
You can not compare schools like Flint Hill or St. James to schools Potomac, Sidwell, NCS, St. Albans, GDS...

This may be true, and in fact, we thought about moving to a “lesser” high school pyramid just to up our kids’ college chances. However, I’m glad we didn’t. Ultimately, I’d rather have them receive an excellent high school education than a mediocre one, regardless of college chances.

OP, the students that attend HYPS from Langley are outliers. T here are not many students from Langley who attend HYPS - the person who mentioned the private schools is correct. If you look at the year end Saxon Scope, you will see almost no one attends HYPS.

Probably because many of the high-achieving Asian students at Langley are being rejected by HYP.

They do, just very few of them. McLean last year probably had no more than 3-4 kids went to HYPS, and several of them got into multiples. So realistically the admit rate is probably even lower than 5%.
