[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am considering buying into Langley area too so my kids can go there, but all those talks about Langley being a "rich" school makes me wonder if we are too poor to go there (I know it's public school, what I meant is whether my kids would fit in with other "rich" students in their class).  My husband and I both work, are there lots of SAHM at Langaley?  What would you say the average HHI is?  [/quote]

Our kids attend Langley and we aren’t especially “rich.”  I’m a SAHM (who drives a minivan), as are many of the other moms.  We live in Great Falls in a normal house.  My kids’ friends run the gamut from other normal families/houses, to beautiful homes, to townhouses - no one cares or talks about that.  There is a stereotype of all Langley students being from ultra-wealthy families, which just isn’t true.  Some are, sure.  But the vast majority are just normal (for this area) kids.  I have no idea what the average HHI is.  It always seems like the people who fixate on that don’t even have kids there.  I can’t remember ever discussing personal wealth with any fellow Langley parents, in our 12+ years there.  There is also a ton of ethnic diversity at Langley, contrary to what the haters will tell you.  It’s like a mini UN.

I always find it funny that some people who complain Langley is “too rich” decide to send their kids to private instead.  Hello?!?[/quote]
