Could you please post the Langley stats? Would appreciate.

Stats? You mean GPA/test scores of kids? No one could possibly know this. Or did you mean college acceptances and the number of kids going to each school? Again, the list is incomplete because it's entirely self-reported.

I meant the list of colleges where Langley kids were going. I know it wasn’t a complete list.

No. We will not do this for you. You are annoying.

Actually the op said s/he would post Langley stats when s/he would post a corrected McLean stat. That is why I followed up to see.

I am interested because my kids are zoned for Langley. Many people like to put Langley down even though it is supposedly the best high school in Va after TJ. This thread is showing an extremely strong college list, which confirms that Langley may indeed be the best high school in VA.

It confirms that Langley students come from rich parents who care about education.

Langley parent here and I agree. Unless you believe that our curriculum is somehow different (it’s not) and we get the best teachers (we don’t), the obvious answer is high HHI and parents with advanced degrees. Money for tutoring, money for sports, money for test prep. Highly educated parents who expect the same for their kids.

The money spent on tutoring at Langley is significant. Especially after the past two years. Kids are thriving there only because parents are filling in the gaps.

Between all of the O days and other nonsense, many kids would not be prepared to take APs or master a subject if their parents were not hiring tutors.

That's quite the generalization there. My kids don't have tutors and did just fine on their AP tests. Maybe you're just talking about your own kids.

Same! None of my LHS kids prepped for AP exams.

According to the Langley poster earlier in the thread, the money "spent on tutoring at Langley is significant." The kids may not prep for AP exams, because AP courses prepare you for AP exams, but many get tutoring for course work and test prep for ACTs, SATs, etc.

Doubtful that was actually a Langley poster at all. Usually it’s those whose kids don’t go to Langley who love to make sweeping and uninformed claims.

+1
It’s a universal truth that high HHI can and do spend more money on academic enrichment, support, and prep. In competitive environments, parents who afford the tutor to get the A instead of the B or the 1520 instead of the 1450 are going to do it.

Not necessarily. My kids did not want or need a tutor for their classes, nor did they do any kind of “enrichment.” They are just regular kids, as are their friends. FWIW, my DS got a 1450 on his SAT and was perfectly comfortable with that, along with his below 4.00 gpa.

And yet, here you are. Are you the person who keeps posting McLean acceptances on a thread about Langley?

No. Are you the person who's responsible for turning the thread into a pile of dog sh*t?

No. That would be you.
