[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For a while they were showing Langley as closed to transfers even though it remains under-enrolled.

Then they pulled the maps that had shown which schools were open and closed to transfers and said this would be re-evaluated in February and then May for the next school year.

So basically it's less transparency and you won't know until you try to secure a pupil placement.  They want the process to be driven by what a student can't get at their base school, not by a desire to attend a particular school other than their base school.  [/quote] Yes, this is spot on. Langley might be worried about being so under-enrolled compared to the massive over-enrollment at MHS, that they may be inclined to accept whatever requests for transfer they can get. Because, you know, eventually somebody may actually do something about that glaring disparity. [/quote]

Except that they're not "so" under-enrolled at this point.  They are only slightly under-enrolled after the boundary adjustment, and there is a new neighborhood with 100+ houses being built that will feed to Langley.  Don't you worry.   :roll: [/quote]

It’s about 15% under capacity.  That’s close to what FCPS treats as significantly under capacity.
