Five Tysons-Area High Schools Make U.S. News’ Top Virginia Schools List

Several public high schools in the Tysons-area, including Langley and McLean high schools, made the cut for U.S. News and World Report’s annual roundup of best high schools on the state and national levels.

“Schools are ranked on their performance on state-required tests, graduation and how well they prepare students for college,” according to U.S. News and World Report.

Fairfax County Public Schools dominated U.S. News and World Report’s “Best High Schools in Virginia,” and five out of the eight Fairfax County schools included two in McLean, two in Vienna and one in Falls Church:

1. Thomas Jefferson High School for Science and Technology: Alexandria
2. Langley High School: McLean
3. McLean High School: McLean
4. Oakton High School: Vienna
5. Open High School: Richmond
6. Marshall High: Falls Church
7. Madison High: Vienna
8. West Springfield High School: Springfield
9. W.T. Woodson High School: Fairfax
10. Deep Run High School: Glen Allen

The Tysons-area high schools bumped up a few spots for this year’s list. Last year, Langley ranked #3, McLean was #5, Oakton was #6 and Marshall was #8.

Their rankings on the national level hit the top 200 and 300 categories:

• Langley: #123
• McLean: #127
• Oakton: #173
• Marshall: #251
• Madison: #261
