[quote=Anonymous]FCPS just updated its "capacity dashboard" that indicates the enrollment projections in the county's elementary, middle and high schools.  In the Tysons area, FCPS is projecting substantial enrollment growth over the next five years at McLean, Madison and Marshall.  They project that McLean will have 2217 students in 2017, Madison will have 2332, and Marshall will have 2068.  In comparison, they project that Langley's enrollment will decline from 1952 students this fall to only 1770 in 2017.  That seems to suggest that the McLean/Great Falls neighborhoods that feed into Langley are aging and/or that younger families either can't afford the Langley area or don't want to live that far out.

A few years ago, back when South Lakes HS was under-enrolled, people got really angry that FCPS didn't include Langley in a boundary study and reassign some Langley students to South Lakes.  Based on the latest information, however, it's more likely that part of South Lakes might get assigned to Langley at some point.  FCPS is now projecting that South Lakes will be seriously overcrowded by 2017.
