[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We live in Herndon and attend Langley.  It's a 50 minute bus ride in the mornings. Not sure if it's a bit less in the afternoons, as my DC does sports after school.  I usually plan on it taking me 45 minutes each way to pick up after sports.
Would love a redistricting.[/quote]

That sounds pretty inconvenient.  I have to ask... would you really give up the peer group and test scores (i.e. teaching level) at Langley for Herndon (where the peer group is much more diverse in its academic interest and the scores are good, but not stellar)?

That drive sounds terrible, but you are getting something in return.[/quote]

Not the PP, but I'll give my answer.  We're in Great Falls and our commute to Langley is about the same - roughly 40-50 min.  Picking up in the late afternoon rush hour after activities, the traffic is a nightmare.

It's true, however, that Langley is an excellent school - our kids have been receiving fabulous educations there and each have a great group of friends.  My husband and I have debated moving though, because while we know how fortunate the kids are to go to this school, living so far away does take its toll.  However, we'd actually welcome a redistricting.  I'm sure kids in this area receive a great education at any of the high schools.  At this point, I think I'd take a closer school over the long commute.[/quote]
