[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]People don’t realize what a shitty, sub-par school McLean will be if they just move 400 students to Langley[/quote]

LOL, no... melodramatic much?  Besides which, McLean's enrollment is projected to grow in the years ahead, it'll get back to something close to where it is now, but at least that buys time for a proper expansion vs. the current situation.

[quote=Anonymous]or how quickly Langley will then get overcrowded.[/quote]

Langley's enrollment is projected to decline in the years ahead, so however crowded it would be if they move some kids would be "peak" crowding at Langley (once grandfathering completes) and then get less crowded over time in the years ahead.[/quote]

NP here - have you asked for more info on how they do their projections? It’s pretty crazy and they tend to be wildly inaccurate. There are several planned communities going up with builders advertising they are in the Langley school boundary. Those are not included in the projections. [/quote]

Just their one-year projections for Langley were significantly off (2019 enrollment was higher than forecast). Factor in the new developments and older neighborhoods turning over and Langley likely would see an increase in kids regardless of any students moved from McLean.  But they’ll mess with the projections to get the numbers they want. [/quote]
