[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Dumb not to move the Colvin Run kids and get rid of it as a split feeder[/quote]

Not dumb if you think it would have been a bad idea to just move more SFHs into Langley.  And the Colvin Run area is still closer to McLean than to Langley. [/quote]

?  No it’s not.  My kids went to Colvin Run/Cooper/Langley.  McLean/Longfellow would have been farther away for us.[/quote]

Colvin Run looks closer to Langley. Does it really matter if more SFHs go to Langley. Langley already has mostly all SFHs. What’s a few more?[/quote]

PP here and I agree with you.  This picking between SFHs, townhouses, and apartments, all in some misguided effort to make each school “equal,” is asinine.[/quote]

And Tysons apartments aren’t cheap. You are not a free lunch kid living in those new apartments in Tysons.[/quote]

Langley currently is almost all SFHs and the average price is probably over $1.2M.  The few townhouses generally start for over $775K.

Some of the units in Tysons that would move to Langley under the staff’s recommendation aren’t new and go for around $400K.  And they also propose to move some rental apartments, which would also be a first for Langley.

Seems sensible to add some greater housing diversity there, even if it still doesn’t result in Langley having a FARMS rate close to any other neighborhood high school in FCPS. Those kids already attend an elementary school that sends many kids to Langley (Spring Hill) and they won’t have to travel as far to get to Langley as many kids in Great Falls already do (or were traveling before classes went virtual).
