I have driven a school bus for years. I have heard and seen things that most folks never will.

I get the big HS thing, but I have family that moved from NoVA to Westchester county and it's just not the same thing here with respect to living in a "town". Given the remarks about Falls Church I would opt for the bigger school in Vienna. Your kids have a better chance of finding the kids they click with than in a smaller school.

Thank you for your service to the county. I would still question whether it really provides you with a basis to assert Langley is the "granddaddy" of them all, when it comes to drug use within FCPS.

Forgive me, you are correct...my evidence is anectdotal.

Some think McLean High deserves the title.

I think the word is "anecdotal."

Just how did a Yalie end up driving a school bus anyway? That might make a more interesting story than hearing about what a sexagenarian thinks he's gleaned from eavesdropping on teenagers.

Thank you for your help everyone. We couldn't find a house within our price range in FCC but did find a nice one in Vienna. We move in August and are looking forward to our new lives in VA.

Vienna is lovely. I hope that you enjoy some of the summer activities like Concerts on the Green.

Falls Church city is nice but the taxes are very high here. Next-door McLean has equal or better schools but lower taxes.
