[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I really like that the Principal has hired many male teachers.  It gives the school a completely different vibe from the schools that have one or two male teachers.  It is wonderful for the students, especially the boys.

It is a larger school.  Class sizes are large.  It is the AAP Center for the Langley pyramid.  (AAP used to be called GT, other jurisdictions call it TAG).  Very high achieving students coming from high achieving parents.  It has some of the highest test scores in the county (and would even without the AAP Center).  Churchill Road, Chesterbrook and Springhill have been the "go to" Elementary Schools for parents who have high expectations for their children and their school for 10+ years.  However, there are still some more laid back relaxed parents too.

Depending on the age of your children and if they are in AAP, they may go to a different Middle School.  Currently the AAP children in the Mclean and the Langley Pyramid go to Longfellow Middle School.  Otherwise, most of Churchill Road matriculates to Cooper Middle School.  There is a high probability that Cooper will be the official AAP Center Middle School for Langley in a ferw years.  It is currently and predicted to be under enrolled and Longfelllow is currently at capacity (w/in ~15 students) and predicted to be over capacity soon.  Cooper is waiting for its renovation and Longfellow received theirs a few years ago.  The McLean - Langley rivalry is huge- and at times unhealthy- although after the two suicides of Langely students last month- it was diminished as students from both schools mourned the losses.  It was quite poignant when the McLean students painted their rock in Langley's colors.

If you haven't seen "The Road to Nowhere", try to see it and you will get an idea of the atmosphere of many of the schools in this area.

Welcome.  There is quite a bit of good, but it comes with quite a bit of stress.[/quote]

I wanted to add that Colvin Run ES is also an AAP center which splits between Langley and McLean HS.  [/quote]
