[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For a while they were showing Langley as closed to transfers even though it remains under-enrolled.

Then they pulled the maps that had shown which schools were open and closed to transfers and said this would be re-evaluated in February and then May for the next school year.

So basically it's less transparency and you won't know until you try to secure a pupil placement.  They want the process to be driven by what a student can't get at their base school, not by a desire to attend a particular school other than their base school.  [/quote] Yes, this is spot on. Langley might be worried about being so under-enrolled compared to the massive over-enrollment at MHS, that they may be inclined to accept whatever requests for transfer they can get. Because, you know, eventually somebody may actually do something about that glaring disparity. [/quote]

Except that they're not "so" under-enrolled at this point.  They are only slightly under-enrolled after the boundary adjustment, and there is a new neighborhood with 100+ houses being built that will feed to Langley.  Don't you worry.   :roll: [/quote]

It’s about 15% under capacity.  That’s close to what FCPS treats as significantly under capacity.

But it won't be for long.  [/quote]

The latest enrollment numbers at Cooper don’t seem to suggest Langley will be close to full capacity any time soon, so why turn away someone who can arrange for their kid’s transportation there?  [/quote]
