[quote=Anonymous]I don't know anything about the academic rigor at Potomac, but as a former Langley teacher, I was surprised at the low expectations for most of the middle school students.  Of course, there were a number that were working at a higher level, but that had more to do with the families from which they were coming, than the education they had received at the school.  I was expecting the student who had access to so many opportunities to be operating at a higher level and had adjusted my curriculum accordingly.  I had to drop the added rigor for most students, and strongly support writing skills, which were abysmal.  I suspect that the new administration will help correct much of this and feel strongly that Langley has a lot of positive things going for it (their art program, exposure to a variety of subjects and ideas, and technology integration for example, as well as the fact that most of the students actually enjoy going to school, which says a lot), but I would not describe their academic program as rigorous.[/quote]
