[quote=Anonymous]There are also issues that FCPS needs to address from Langley's perspective.

Right now, Langley's enrollment is down, but how much of that is cyclical and due to neighborhoods with older residents that are gradually turning over to younger owners?  Langley has the largest attendance area in the county by far (only Robinson comes close, and Robinson's zone isn't nearly as large as Langley's).  If FCPS moves kids to Langley, and the cycle plays out, could they end up greatly overcrowding Langley in 5-10 years?

In addition, to what extent has FCPS addressed the fact that an increasing number of parents in the Langley neighborhoods may be pulling their kids out of FCPS and sending their kids to privates due to the large class sizes in McLean and Great Falls?  What if they tried to address that and took concrete steps to reduce the class sizes?  They might find that more parents in those neighborhoods sent their kids to the public schools, and then they wouldn't have to bus kids who live closer to other schools to Langley to fill the building.
